"Keywording is not only searchable, but automatically organizes all "clips" into
keyword based bins. (I suspect old-style fixed bins are gone, but keywords
would do the job as well)."
Will I have options and choices on how I want to store and organize things, or does FCP X know best from now on? I definitely like the idea of being able to search across bins on the basis of keyword, but why does bin organization have to go away? Maybe I just want to create a location, put something in it, then retrieve it without having to perform a search operation. What if I forget what keywords I associated with the clip? Bins show me what I have whether I remember clip names or not, and sometimes when I go looking for the thing I want, I find the thing I really need right next to it.
I can see the advantages of keywords, certainly; but for Apple to decide that this is the only way to work (if that's the case), sounds rather patronizing to me. Patronizing in the same way that deciding I don't need a source window anymore is patronizing.

Keywording is not only searchable, but automatically organizes all "clips" into
keyword based bins. (I suspect old-style fixed bins are gone, but keywords
would do the job as well).
But you can't have 10 markers that overlap. You can have 10 or any number of
range based keywords that overlap, or not. "smart collections automatically
created for keywords" (Ubillos) and "The collection is based on Queries"
(Steinaur). (Which also leads me to believe I am wrong that the project format
is XML based, but that's another blog post).
