What was so great about the previous level of Avid UI customability was that each individual craftsman (editor) could arrange his tools and work bench the way that worked best for him/her. You could make it intuitive for you.
This lack of customization is one of the things I detest the most about FCP. It's so bright and overloaded. It stands up and shouts, "Hey, look at me!" like an insecure kid desperate for attention. But Avid always let me create a world in which the story was dominant, not the tools.
Does this mean I'm mentally undisciplined? I don't know. Maybe. We all have our individual strengths and weaknesses. But Avid always allowed for that and so helped the editor be the best they could be.
Okay, I'm over-philosophizing here. But I don't care. Because this is my career. And it's important.
