I've used Final Cut, Avid, Premiere, and a few others. I installed Davinci Resolve on Wednesday.
Got a tip for us?

The Apple Golden Goose is the iPhone. It is getting mature to the point that innovation has run its course. The name says it all - iPhone was just a cell phone initially but now has the power of a laptop and more apps than can be useful,
The Goose is getting old and innovation for a dynamic new product seems to be lacking. For enlightmeent, go to Apple's iPhone comparison chart and select the iPhone Pro Max 17, 16,and 15. There have been just a very few tweaks as actual upgrades. The screen size and features has been the same as have many other details.
If the fold iPhone bombs like the googles and car projects, Apple could be in serious trouble. The new laptops (same screen and enclosure for the last several years) have had chip updates. Whoopee!
How soon before Apple hardware is a subscription service they could turn off remotely if the monthly subscription is late? Applies to subscription software as well.
The consumer is not facing a bright future. We will own "nothing"?

"For example, only Pixelmator Pro users with a Creator Studio subscription will be receiving a new Warp tool that allows you to twist and shape image layers."
This is really lame and a sign of disappointment to come. Why lock basic tools like this being a subscription? Keep that for your apple intelligence and generate nonsense

Shake and Aperture have entered the conversation.

Never used shake but invoking aperture is saddening.

I understand how that feels. I've encountered not being able to even start it up, among other show stopping weird bugs with multiple versions, eventually gave up trying to even learn it because I just couldn't use the software. To me, these types of bugs just shouldn't happen with editing software that has been around for years. This isn't like brand new software that just popped up.

I certainly understand and have known that for years (started trying with v16+) but for quick editing without a lot of work, FCP is king. Sure, if one is putting together extremely complex movies or edits and want to do it all in one package, yes, DaVinci can do better in some areas, as you said. Color grading will always be DaVinci's strong point, since that is what they do best.
Seems to be the same with Motion vs After Effects. If one is trying to do that same thing that they both do, Motion is most of the time much faster and easier at getting to the destination.
I mostly edit audio outside FCP since much of the audio I deal with needs real help. My preferred app has always been Soundtrack Pro though. If I could have an updated version that would run on today's hardware, it would be great. Not sure why Apple hasn't improved that part of FCP more than they have.

In my opinion, customers who pay for Apple One should be free from seeing any ads whatsoever. Paying for a premium service and still being subjected to ads doesn’t sit well with me.
Oh wow, I forgot about Soundtrack!
I'm trying to remember if you could somewhat have a middle ground in Logic using all of the sample packs. I remember the idea of Soundtrack Pro, but don't remember the sounds or workflow.
Good times!

Basically, non-destructive sound editing was the breakthrough part. You could open up a movie and edit and fix the sound right there and see the movie playing with the sound edits you were making. Breakthrough! The closest I have found as a workflow to replace it is iZotope RX and FCPX working together. So I do all the stuff in iZotope RX that they have to repair and fix the audio, similar to what one would use Soundtrack Pro for, depending on how much time I am devoting to it, and then export it and bring it into FCPX and use all the audio effects that used to be in Soundtrack Pro.
Soundtrack Pro is easier to use for certain sound edit jobs but overall the new workflow is better quality wise since it is a whole lot newer. iZotope RX is unmatched quality wise and can push beyond the 32-bit file limit Soundtrack Pro has, plus processes in 32-bit float etc. Final Cut Pro has everything else needed to complete the job that Soundtrack Pro had.
I have it installed in a Snow Leopard VM with DVD Studio Pro for when I want to use it. I also have all the loops, sounds, etc. installed for access to the VM and for FCPX and Logic since the old ones were full quality and not compressed. Did that when FCPX first came out. Sounds are the same as Final Cut Studio as they are with FCPX Extra Content, when I last checked.
