Final Cut Pro

A bunch of fan boys on YouTube are drooling all over the flagship video editing software. It turns out that people have issues with the software.

Is Final Cut Pro X Apple's Biggest Mistake In Years?
"It isn't like Apple to stumble but the latest version of Final Cut Pro, the widely used tool in the professional video editing world was getting the reputation as the app that launched a thousand complaints, as the 955 reviewers and raters on iTunes collectively rated FCP as, "Two and a half stars," with 45% are giving the software one star, the lowest rating possible, bestowing on the program the dubious honor of being the lowest rated Apple software hosted by the company's digital store. Many complaints center around lost features. We used to be able to do this, and now we can't. You can't work with existing FCP Suite projects. There's no external video monitoring, no EDL imports, no backup application disk so good luck re-installing the software on the road without a good internet connection, and lots of unanswered questions about site licensing."

It doesn't work for me because I have no Mac. By the time you pay fora Mac and pay for the software, you could have purchased several computers and outfitted them with open source software.
