Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Clint Wardlow] "But a shop planning a future business model might feel a little leary investing lots of dollars if they feel they will remain in a constant state of uncertainty what Apple is going to do next."

I guess for me personally, putting that much faith in a company that I have zero control over is a zero sum game.

We buy computers, they work for a while, not forever.

Apple is still selling the MacPro today, granted it's older hardware. But if I were to buy an Apple computer today, it would be Applecared and guaranteed to work by Apple through that Applecare contract.

Even if I bought a new computer today, it would still be covered for the next three years.

FCP7 was EOLd almost a year ago, I still use it everyday.

These are tools, I see them as replaceable, even if it's going to suck and cost more money.

I don't know, there's plenty of options, if one company makes you feel more secure than the other, go for it.
