But the double “heavy” IS correct.
Apparently the new features are VERY heavy. I may not be able to lift FCPX after it’s released.

I transcribed it myself from the video of his IBC presentation.
Yes, the double “working” is a typo- and for some reason I can no longer edit the post.

[Oliver Peters] “And what are those perceptions? They seem to be different with every piece of software.”
You do realize how difficult it is for Apple could institute a single, coherent design philosophy across so many parallel application and operating system divisions? Does development of FCPX wait for design philosophy to be handed down for this year? OSX development?
If iOS7’s design principals hold any weight or longevity, it could be years before we see them interpreted across all of Apple’s products and services. That’s not incongruity. It’s just the pace of development.

Oliver, you’re asking for justification of art. Art is influenced by culture, the time in which it’s produced, the people that made it- all sort of factors.
Apple has proven more than most its willing to stick doggedly to it’s perceptions on design and the market. If Apple was that malleable we’d have a $299 Mac laptop and a 5″ iPhone by now.
If Apple doesn’t do anything it’s falling behind, if Apple changes things it’s confusing people. If Apple doesn’t make a low cost phone it’s leaving money on the table. If they make a low cost phone they’re beaten up for reduced profits due to lower margins on their devices.
I haven’t spent enough time with iOS7 to say whether or not it’s better than before- but as someone else posted it’s really a matter of living with something for a while, then go back and take a look at the old thing and see how you feel.
Different looks different. And that freaks people out.

This is an either or proposition- and I don’t think the answer can be that black and white.
I think the two argument, “Change for the sake of change”, and “Afraid of change” are two sides of the same coin. And of course it’s probable that the truth lies somewhere in between.

I, and I’m sure many web designers, would disagree.
Hi DPI screen are essentially print now- so pessimistically, application/web design is at least 50/50 print/video, but I think things have leaned FAR closer to print as resolution has eliminated many design barriers.

Design goes thru cycles. It’s clear we’ve moved into a minimalistic phase where software design is concerned.
While I don’t think that the general design of Apple’s Pro apps (FCP, Motion, Logic) are terribly skeuomorphic (except in some obvious places in Logic), it will be interesting to see if this minimalistic aesthetic filters down. While I’d like to see some some of the “de-chroming” found in element of LogicX, I don’t think we’ll see anything too radical this year. I think the dev team has much bigger fish to fry than UI.

No, Oliver- Mavericks isn’t getting an iOS-style makeover. After 2 OS updates of integrating iOS features into OSX, Apple seems to have backed off and decided to go for feature synergy rather than any stylistic parity.
Mavericks still looks very much like Mountain Lion.
From what I’ve seen (we’ll find out in practice tomorrow) I very much like iOS on the iPhone/iPad. It seems logical that they decided to carry over that aesthetic to the web interface specifically to create a “seamless” visual experience between what a user gets on their phone and using the web client, whether they’re on a Mac or a Windows box.

DOES it….?! Mwahahahaha!
(yeah, it does)

Some are, definitely. In the past guys like Blackmagic and Intelligent Assistance have gotten early access to FCPXML for workflow integration.
