I tiptoe in response jeremy.

no, sure of course, although I find the concept of easy a tricky one - how would you make maya easy? or architectural programs? aren't they complex insofar as they represent complex tasks? Isn't editing a fairly complex task?

but that's not the thing - the contention that generic aspects of apple software from iphoto, imovie, mail, the finder, can be bolted together as craig has it there, and create a coherent application for something as specific as editing is something I have a very hard time swallowing.

Events are not appropriate, in my opinion, to editing, they are a straight unadorned drop in from a totally different apple programme that serves different purposes for different users, and they just plopped it into this programme, and given the crazy work arounds and hacks, i think its fair to say that it doesn't work very well. And that's where we're supposed to put and find our stuff.
trying to develop out from the single track imovie timeline, with bodges like secondary storylines hasn't maybe worked too great either.

It feels frankensteinish, to me at any rate, as an application. it feels misshapen. And there's way too much chrome.
But I am a crotchety insane old man on that point. lots of people seem to like the look of it.
