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

[Gary Huff] "[T. Payton] "Apple was truly aiming where the puck will be with FCP X, and many of us dislike where the puck is going to be. Like Luddiites (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite) we believe this new technology was a death sentence to our much loved craft. Some of us even lashed out, seeking some type of revenge upon the very ones proposing this new technology."

Okay, I get it: you love Apple and probably believe that this mega-billion dollar corporation can do no wrong.

In the real world, just because something is new and shiny, it doesn't automatically make it the future.

I DO get a little tired of this naive, extremely patronizing notion that if you don't embrace FCX with a 3rd degree tent pole, there must be something wrong with you--that you are some fuddy, unwilling to embrace the new, and that you stand there like MR D.B. Gumby, shouting "My Brain Hurts!" It is just such a shallow POV.
