And read the comments too. If Pogue was an employee of Apple I'd be proud of him for fighting so hard. As a journalist at the NYTimes, its kind of embarrassing for him and the Times.

Priceless: “The information here comes from consultation with Final Cut Pro X’s product managers at Apple.”

Actually, I think he provides a pretty awesome rosetta stone for those upgrading. It's not perfect, as he acknowledges, but it sure helps a lot of people who make the transition.

This guy really doesn't understand what all the noise about FCPX is and what film and broadcast practices are. In that regard, I really do not understand why he wrote that article at all. It's as if I wrote an article on organic chemistry since I once read about it on wikipedia. I wrote about what FCPX vs FCP means to me here: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2695610

His final words on the subject (from the next blog post):

"Having read through hundreds of comments from professionals, both civil and uncivil, I’m now convinced: Final Cut Pro X may indeed be ready for the future. But for professional video editors, it’s not yet ready for the present."

I don't understand why all these professionals are upset with Apple about FCP X. Do Not Upgrade(R). Stay on FCP 7.

Your linked post seems much more down-to-earth and level-headed than the complaints I keep seeing everywhere. If all these professionals would hold off purchasing the new version (and I suppose they will with all the negative feedback from those who have already purchased), then Apple will feel the repercussions in lack of sales.
