These programs just work and are reliable. I don't have these issues with FCPX or Avid, and for the record, I edit on all 3 all the time. Sure you can edit without one, but Premiere is so reliant on a video card that it's almost unusable without it. And don't get me started on the video card capability mess. Save constantly, which for some reason even if you have autosave on it doesn't work until you save manually once. I use it on a new Mac Pro, an iMac and a Hackintosh. Time and time again this app has made me look bad while a client is sitting next to me waiting for an edit that has a tight deadline. Premiere is a crash happy mess to put it mildly.
