Unfortunately you're right. It is difficult to convince people to switch back, I have the same problem at my studio. That is Apple's fault for sure but I think/hope they will fix the situation. They seem to really be trying to fix the situation with how much they've improved their software since its release. FCPX is an awesome peace of software but as a A-z, whole editing suite it is incomplete. Currently we can't cover everything that needs to be done in a production with the Apple products available. That being said there is a way to still use FCP X as the main editor, it just requires other third party software, such as DiVinci Resolve, to be used as well. Make sure that Apple hears what you're saying. The more they hear the more motivated they will be to improve. I just sent a long tongue lashing/plea to Apple about the whole situation and I hope they pay attention because I love the direction they took with FCP X and want it to become king again.
If you want to send them feedback do it here:

One thing though I've experienced is that there have been many, many times that the editors around me have said I wish I could do "this" or "that" while using CS5.5 (which we use at the studio). I say well you can in FCP X. I can't count how many times that has happened.
There are some good companies that have made the jump to FCP X though. If people want an example have them check this out:
