Well I guess then that I'm not a professional?
I use FCP X and Premiere, and let me tell you that I prefer FCP X. It gets the job done faster and without all the weird crashes that Adobe's products still suffer from.
The narrative that X is for hobbyists is really just plain wrong. I've been editing for about ten years, and X is (after a learning periode) the best editing software that I have used.
It is also being adopted in latter Hollywood productions and is used quite a bit in documentaries.
Do you work on $100 million projects?
Many big movies have been cut on Premiere. It's a testament that Adobe wants all FCP7 people to go to Adobe.
I've worked on multi-million dollar projects, have you? I can't name them for privacy concerns. But I'm sure you've seen some of my work.
I'm not an editor by trade, but I do use all Adobe apps when I have many people who need to work with me to deliver a big project. (Mine is mostly short form nowadays).
The funny thing is, this Hackintosh route I went was a bit of an experiment for me to see if getting a $8,000 2013 Mac Pro or a $3000 (with full upgrades) 2010 Mac Pro 12 core is any bit more stable than a Hackintosh in real world scenarios -- it turns out the Hackintosh is pretty stable as long as you don't do any updates.
So anyway, I'm not trying to toot my horn, I'm just a concerned person who uses Macs almost 12-18 hours a day to get things done.
Also I've been doing this since I was a wee lad, so....let's not bring in "age" old experience here. If I count how long I've been in production/post production, it amounts to 20 years...and I'm only in my mid 30s.
The only big movie FCPX was used on was Focus starring Will Smith. FCPX is a mess with the cheesy magnetic timeline, "story" mode, and automated audio features. The issue here with FCPX is that it does too much FOR YOU. Editors like to have complete control and audio is a big no no to mess around with.
If Apple didn't try to "revolutionize editing" by completely dumping the way FCP7 worked (which I loved)...they might've been more successful. It's quite clear that their only Pro apps left are Logic X and FCPX...with the latter being, like you said, mostly used in docus but not major movies where 5-10 editor work at the same time and between different types of artists under the same roof.
You should look into how David Fincher used Premiere with Gone Girl and Dragon Tattoo and the workflow they created with Premiere/After Effects with multiple editors. Adobe also listened to their demands and The Coen brothers use Premiere (funnily enough they still shoot on film). Also Deadpool too.
Just watch these:
But as usual, it comes down to "what tool is best". But in this case, Adobe is the ONLY option that translates well from FCP7 users. Apple has alienated this industry and it is seaping into their product lines now. FCPX is a piece of poo for me, I recently had to work with a guy who was an FCPX editor and I literally couldn't get him to properly send me an XML so I can go back into Premiere/AE combo to finish up a project. I had to buy a $50 app to translate the .fcpxml into an FCP7 XML and then bring it into Premiere -- with many elements not translating well. He also had issues with stupid little things like unable to link clips (SIMPLE THINGS). Premiere Pro is solid and works well and has a bright future.
Apple is going to become the next HP if they keep going at it this way.
