Thanks for the thoughtful response.
Yes, I was just blowing off steam, yet got a lot of interesting comments. I hate to say it, but I think Premiere is the right choice for my client at this time. The biggest issue for me is the new way of audio handling- and Resolve uses the same methodology.
Though I'm now well versed as a colorist in Resolve, I'm not using the editing tools. I'll need to take a look at that soon, too.

Yes, they all had to learn all three platforms. One was a veteran Media Composer and Final Cut Pro editor (me). The other two were veteran Premiere and Final Cut Pro editors, as well as After Effects wizards.

Premiere won because of the particular flexibilities of it's feature set and it's integration with After Effects, which at the time was integral to our workflows. Final Cut Pro 7 would have won had it not been deprecated. Avid might have won in a house that needed better standardization of workflow. It was a complicated decision. There was no single reason.

It took an act of conscious will to accept that Premiere was the practical choice for my house. Three years on I am still happy with that choice. For all it's faults, Premiere has served us well.
