The real bottom line is that you can do a great or a crappy job with any
of them.
In my estimation, out of the whole world of editors, there are
relatively few who work at a level where the differences in the software
strengths will make a significant difference in helping them produce
exceptional results.
For example, if most of your projects include 5.1 surround, Vegas
clearly has better tools for that. But TRUELY needing 5.1 tools on a
daily basis is something that ONLY very small percentage of working
editors need.
If you're constantly bouncing back and forth between editing, audio,
titling, DVD mastering, and audio sweetening - the FCP suite has
excellent tools in ALL those areas built into the package.
But again, for most editors, having all those "extra" tools might not be
valuable at all. Perhaps you just want to concentrate on EDITING - (a
skill like many of the other mentioned above that people spend their
entire careers focused on in an on-going attempt to achieve mastery.
The truth is that for most typical "editors" there's NOT a singe one of
the mentioned packages that has any "fatal flaw" that won't let you do
work capable of earning you a HUGE paycheck.
As always, the only way to GET that kind of paycheck is to be so good at
what you do that someone will pay you the big bucks.
And your software won't get you there. Your talent and hard work will.
Besides, anything anyone tells you about how one or another is "better"
right now, is gonna obsolete in a month or so when one or another of the
leading packages is revised again.
Buy ANY of them and get editing and you'll be putting yourself ahead of
the competition who waits and worries about buying the "right" software.
My 2 cents anyway.
