Re: FCPX metadata--how significant is it? And why?

[Bill Davis] "I suspect, however, that the FCP-X benefit package (astonishing price/performance ratio, file based workflow integration honoring exceptionally robust metadata capabilities, and access to the planetary class engineering resources clearly enabled by being under the wing of the most economically successful company on earth) will help resolve these issues sooner rather than later. I'm comfortable with this bet."

It sounds like FCPX is a good fit for your workflow, and it's letting you be more productive than FCP7 did. That's good to hear, and I am happy for you.

I share your believe that Apple could resolve the issues we've all been laying out here for months -- but they've given me reason to question their intentions [link] over the last few years, so I am not comfortable betting that they will resolve them.
