#2Any video editor who is already switching from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere should be fired. Obviously later versions (hopefully sooner rather than later) of Final Cut Pro X will have multi-camera support. FCP 7 is still as good as it was last week. FCP X is an impressively solid base for building out the advanced features that are currently missing; the interface is simply awesome.
I find it somewhat ironic that startup people are so upset at Apple for shipping an extremely refined minimum viable product. Apple does this all the time and startups do too. Because it's a proven method for successfully releasing radically innovative products.
On Airplay, it is so painfully obvious what this "limitation" is technical. Using Airplay, especially with HD video, probably sucks up a huge amount of CPU and bandwidth. That I can't multitask is a tradeoff, and one I'm willing to make if it means my video never skips.

#4That’s hyperbole, right? He doesn’t really believe that firing people is some sort of miracle cure, does he? He knows that firing people for a single mistake can be a very stupid idea, right?

#5I'm half-tempted to post this to Reddit. I hear they have a subreddit, "firstworldproblems", that seems to pretty much cover this article.

#6Wow, this comes off as really immature. I honestly wondered if he was joking on #1, but it became clear that he didn't.
I agree that Airplay should work when minimized and that Final Cut Pro X are not ready for professional use yet, but those two relativiely minor issues (Airplay is a new feature, Final Cut Pro 7 still works) doesn't warrant an incredible angry post like this. He must have had a really bad day.

#7Dear people making great products,
Your products' minuscule flaws offend me, and render the entire product a failure. My complaints are more important than any decision or tradeoff you have made, and thus you are bad at your job.

I am sad this is on the frontpage of HN. Disrespectful and childish, regardless of whether it's barely attempting to be a joke or not.

MVP applies to the first iteration of a product, not version 8 of a mature codebase in heavy production use all over the world. It can't even load FCP 7 files.

You can also try http://www.whitewhine.com. One spun from the other, I think.

It's not version 8 of a mature codebase, it's a complete rewrite. It's basically a completely new product with the same name.
Quite like OS X actually. The Mac OS series had a long and good run, but OS X was a completely new OS. It had a rocky start (like Final Cut Pro X has now), but eventually it will improve to the point where noone would even consider going back to 7/OS 9.
