I was teaching FCPX last night and currently my only beef is to not have the Project Timeline to move right while trimming in point of first clip at zero.
It freaks the students out.
I have to show them to use "shift+z" right away so they panic
I guess I can ask for a storyboard option where you can have a special bin (yep I said it) that will let you layout the clips in icon view (of course) in anyway you want to see them.
The above long list is probably doable.
But I love favorites and keywords.
Forces you to organize and manage clips/resources.
Makes you more aware of what you have in your Event for said project
