To be honest the show count of systems is as old and lame as any nostalgia thread. Simple reality these days is from an editorial perspective all the main systems are on par.
You can argue about unity v edit share and background tasks but as you saw on Hugo the desired editor used what they want and production sorts the tech. And that's exactly as it should be.
There was a time where I would argue about the relative merits of systems but i stopped long ago. I can edit in most things and I've comped features on dozens of different systems. Sure nuke is more fun than silicon grail and a lot more powerful but for the most part the results are the same.
I doubt there's one editor here who will say his output is 'colored' by the software he used. So a list of what was used for what whilst useful for Avids marketing diesnt tell us anything except that the guys on the top features, or the older guys with most experience, unsurprisingly use the older avid and lightworks systems they grew up with. You don't a survey or research to know that to be the case.
Same with commercials. Nuke is more powerful and flexible than flame but when it comes to award time in tvc land it's all flame. Simply because all us old guys with the most experience and who clients trust are flame artists.
Best regards
Mike
