I notice no one here pointed out this guy was mostly complimentary about FCP and stated, in the end, “The winner, for me, remains the Media Composer, primarily, at this point, because of its trimming controls.” … “Final Cut does some things better than the Media Composer these days and those improvements, especially the ability to do really slick titles in Motion and sophisticated sound work in Soundtrack Pro, make it more and more interesting.”
He was stating his personal preference and why. He NEVER slammed FCP.

The software MC is $4995, not $7000. The $7000 figure is a low round-off for MC and MOJO SDI ($2495), which is ~$7500 for the two.

With the caveat that Apple is in a major pardigm shift from Power PC to Intel:
IF you have other apps that need a Mac to run AND your Avid software is not of the HD flavor, you can have your Mac and Avid too! FCP is an excellent application, but different from Avid. There are pluses and minuses for each. If you set your Mac with dual-boot partitions, you can have both apps installed and decide which you prefer.
As part of the caveat mentioned above, don’t expect Apple to update/support the Power PC apps for long after the Intel Macs are fully in swing.
