Re: Is the name clouding our judgement?

[Oliver Peters] "Because it is called Final Cut Pro, I think a lot of us are trying to MAKE it work, when often it isn't the right choice. Hence, a lot of frustration. Thoughts?"

I'd like to propose a variation on this question: if the product where NOT called Final Cut Pro, would it have gotten the consideration it did?

Would FCPX have been rejected for those workflows where it does offer compelling advantages if not for its apparent pedigree? Would "Magneto-Data-Edit" from "Developer X" have fared as well on the App Store?
