While I agree with you that they should have stuck to common conventions, I would offer that FCPX conforms to the naming conventions used in other Apple software. In addition, Apple made a definite move away from terminology based on film editing nomenclature. There's really no point using film-based terms in a digital application, but of course, that's what most of us are comfortable with.
Since we are talking about news cutting, though, FCPX uses the term "Event" in place of "Bin". In the context of holding source footage for a news story, it seems to me that Event is just as appropriate a term as Bin. Not the choice I would have made, but it does have a logic to it.

Why FCP-X didn't maintain the gui conventions like Edius, Avid or PP is beyond me. This is no different than all cockpits in airplanes having a uniform commonality of controls and naming conventions.Among editors and production folks I've talked too when I bring up FCP X they just roll their eyes, moan and walk off talking to themselves.
