I once heard a film student say that everyone in his class HATED Avid, and that the only reason it was used was because it was heavily entrenched in the industry, and big movie studios had expensive Avid equipment that they didn't want to throw away...
Does that make any sense? I never trusted the teacher (really bitter about everything), and thought he might have just passed this view onto everyone, before they had a chance to really understand for themselves what was what.
I use Premiere, btw (PPro CS5), and have messed around with Sony Vegas, but never tried Avid. I've poked around for some online reviews, but they are strangely few and far-between.
