I'd rather be editing and filming and enjoying life than spend x amount of time learning another programme that a) might be buggy and/or problematic and/or not as good (for me) as FCP X and b) _might_ save me a bit of time but less than the time I spent learning it.

I downloaded the original beta back in 2012 and it was HORRIFIC. This seems a lot smoother. So far, I've pulled in (via link) some ProResHQ and DPX 10bit files and both played out just fine.

I've got Mavericks at home but am running MC5 at the office (soon to upgrade to 6 after I finish my current project), but my budget for 2014 was just shot down so we won't be going to 7/8 this year.

I'm sure it's a hell of a product, but MAN they need a light version. I've got a license for Resolve already and am waiting to see how good that is when 11 comes out. Vers. 10x is nice, but not for real cutting. If 11 has the power of Lightworks, this may all be academic.
