Okay, all. I have learned that some of the things I initially stated were accurate. The ‘timeline,’ for example. You can click a clip from the event browser and select Open In Timeline. Hence, the term isn’t fully eliminated.
I can go on but thanks to this forum, I have decided to give X another chance. I still feel that there are a bunch of workarounds for things that should be more straightforward, so convincing a team to use this may be challenging.
