[Jeremy Garchow] "A mentor of mine told me that it's never been about the tools. It's always about the talent using the tools"
Honestly Jeremy, that's one of the most overused and supremely over-simplistic cliches of all times. And, it's really insulting to those artists who have heavily invested in FCP infrastructure. There are many very talented artists around the world who simply can't afford the kind of disruption Apple has created for them in these times of tremendous economic upheaval.
The costs of retraining and retooling are hardly insignificant for many, and they should not be made to sound trivial. You have the luxury of working for people who buy your toys, but not everyone in the world is so lucky. Rafael has mentioned this to you several times, but you're not obviously not paying attention.
