3rd party gear? I worked on 1.25, and it was barely functional. It corrupted the clip media file relationship so that random garbage came up when you hit the play button, master clip timecode with time of day when you created a subclip, invented new TC if you hit a break while capturing, and was generally primitive and unstable. Years later, as of V.5, Final Cut's clip/media file relationship was still friable, and even now that its stable enough for me to appreciate its good points, it still has basic practical deficits.
Perhaps Apple could have contented themselves with fixing some of FCP's traditional imbecilities, like its trim tools, instead of "reinventing" a paradigm that didn't need reinventing, but I guess the trim window doesn't make for rock star presentations at NAB.
Yes, I'll be on 7.0 "for a while."

A while! Ha, ha , ha, ha ha....
Remember, FCP version 1.25 was the point that FCP became *somewhat* able with
some consistency to work with 3rd party gear, like Cinewave. It was 3.0 before
it was something you could really use for decent work. It still had no color
correction or multi-cam at 3.0. That was about a 3 or 4-year time span, IIRC,
from Apple's first release to 3.0.
