Re: Illustrator turns 25 today. Thoughts on it, Luddites and FCP X

T. Payton,


You've dragged out the usual straw man arguments (once again): that those who are critical of FCPX are acting out of emotion and fear (fear of change, fear of technology, etc.), and further that Apple is somehow "right" about the future just because they've done something "new".

If you've been following the forum here, you would find a wide range of challenges to both those assertions.

[T. Payton] "Apple made a bold move to propose that there was a simpler way to edit, manage, color correct, etc."

You got this part right ... Apple has made a proposal. The other part of the equation is how users have, and will, react.

You point to a success story like Illustrator, but you neglect that there are many stories of failure - which will FCPX be?
