It's only been on the Mac App Store for a few days, but Final Cut Pro X has already stirred up a whole messy pot of controversy.

On his blog David wrote that in 10 years of writing Times columns, he has never encountered anything quite like this. He also quotes one of the e-mails: "This is Apple's worst release in history, (...) Apple has absolutely no clue what professionals need.
