I would expand Bill’s “…how X operates and how it can help me do more and better work faster”:
I found that workflow in X is great for some projects – let’s deliver them faster and make look more modern with the help of built-in effects and third-party plug-ins. For other projects I totally switched to Premiere from FCP7 because Premiere later versions overcame the leftover FCP7.
SO for me it’s just a matter of choice according to the needs in my current project, and for now I can say that X is MustHave! instrument along with others.

Really, as for me CC looks as just a way to ease the licensing and updates for Adobe (and for us?).
Premiere for me is a software able to work with RAW footage and use CUDA. New CC uses multiple GPUs so I’m going to benefit from that, but sharing projects stucks in a RAW footage problem, because I need to convert all my footage to proxies reconnect them and only after I can use cloud to share the “prproj”. And after all how would we collect all the RAWs for final output if different parts of the team add their OWN RAW (as proxies) to our team’s project?

So, again, so far CC looks as just a way to ease the licensing and updates for Adobe (and for us?)

I believe that you shoud export as premultiplied, thus it’s most unlikely that you’ll face any problems further. Different programs can treat ProRes in a different way, and “premul” can save you some nerves.
In all the rest I agree with Angelo.
