After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

This is not about whether or not FCPX is "professional." Instead I am wondering if, after a massive publicity disaster which labeled it non-professional, if the general consensus of editors is coming around to its side. From what I am seeing it is not, despite updates and plugins that have added back some of the functionality missing from its first release.

An anicdotal incident illustrates this. I recently edited a piece for a DSLR shooter. A very simple edit that involved a couple of fades to a one-camera recording of a live performance. A piece of cake. The shooter asked me to do the edit because all she had was FC5 and was having issues with H264 footage.

I suggested she get FCPX, which I felt would work fine for her. She was surprised because all she was hearing how terrible it was a program from fellow shooters and editor friends. In fact most folks I know in the biz are unaware of the upgrades and still kind of see FCPX as if it was still in its first release form.

True or not, this seems to be the perception in my circle. Complete non-trust of Apple and ageneral disdain of FCPX. Will Apple ever be able to counter this view? And no matter how powerful a tool FCPX may become in the future, will it ever be accepted among "pros" again. Did the surrounding bad publicity in its original release taint it too much?
