Would love to have a new Mac Pro, but Activity Monitor would be flat-lined 99 percent of the time.
Compiling and running apps in the iOS simulator would barely even budge the needle.

So you believe the CPU is soldered to the motherboard and the video cards are glued in?

How do people come up with this stuff.
Cos its the truth*. I wanna replace my hardware. Its a shame you can no longer do this in Apple hardware. But the Mac Pro is a really lovely machine none the less.
*In my humble option.
When you are trying to win an argument, try to be more specific. It doesn't have "internal" expandability.... it has external. That doesn't make it any less expandable, just not the way you want because you need to complain about something so pointless just to be heard. Guess that is supposed to make you sound intelligent or something, eh?
The trolls have nothing but the usual drivel.....
Third parties demonstrate mind numbing FCPX speed, so obviously FCPX is completely irrelevant.

In your humble "option"? Yes, you are right. You have options and you choosing not to exercise them so that you can complain about something pointless?
Man I'd love to buy one of those to edit family videos on but I know that would be such a waste on powerful machine. I'd be embarrassed to use iMovie on it lol!
I wonder if the 6 core model is even overkill for a professional photographer...

It's expendable, though with a hefty price tag and less elegant way than in the past.

Hmm... if you're wife is driving the kids to soccer practice in a Cadillac Escalade, you are already in the habit of buying exponentially more capability than what you need.
The new Mac Pro starts out at 1/15th of the price of what you would pay for a cheapo Escalade. So you know, should be an easy sell to the wife.
Well I work with one of the largest Avid intalls in California. It is a pain in the behind. The main thing Avid has over FCP and other competitors is the networked workflow.
If I was a small post house or an indie videographer I'd stick to FCP. Much cheaper, not as steep a learning curve.
All that matters is the output.
AFAIK, both platforms output quality video.
You can swap out the GPU's and CPU's its called buying a new computer.
So what are you saving by swapping out those critical components? The case?
For pro audio application I would need a unit that offers 12 USB ports (or 3 PciE slots) and room to install 4 SATA 3,5" drives, so I can transition from current MP.
This is a workstation. Most people do not replace hardware in the machine, the machine gets replaced. You stick with the turnkey system for stability.
What hardware do you want to replace, or perhaps install, in the machine if you could?
Premiere guy here. Not religiously, but as a student I started on the Creative Suite and it made no sense at the time to spend additional money on a different NLE when I already had one. Now it's inertia and I don't have a compelling reason to switch and climb the learning curve.

Might be time to switch to decaf. You made some unsupported statements that may very well be untrue, and they questioned them, that's all.
Is it sad that I keep checking my order to see if maybe.. just maybe Apple might ship my BTO a bit early? January seems so far away. Can't wait to check out how grading just 2.5k raw in Resolve is on this thing.
Got my pegasus2 r4 today not bad while its initializing raid5 was able to get 500MB/s read and 640MB/s write on my rMBP according to the BMD test. Going to be a real nice change from the 270MB/s read/write I've been getting on the internal ssd's on my 2010 Mac Pro.
I for one, won't miss the lack internal storage. Or the ability to add pcie cards and winding up with a system that isn't as stable as it was when I first got it. Or spending a lot of money on a new graphics card that is a bit better then the previous one but can't quite run at full speed due to lack of power or capable bus

Heh. If so, I'll wear my sad face in solidarity.
I've logged into my Apple account three times today, just on the chance there might be a difference in the status. Even just a better estimate than "Available to ship in January." Silly, but there it is.
