Exactly. I work for a University television station that used Final Cut Pro. All of our professors are familiar with Final Cut Pro, all of our students are taught Final Cut Pro in their classes, and of our labs are equipped with Final Cut Pro. Nearly everyone in the department likes the new features in Final Cut Pro X, but the new features don't make up for the missing features.
Sure we could switch to Avid, but that would cost the University hundreds of thousands of dollars. And money is something the education system doesn't have right now. We don't want to move to Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas because Final Cut Pro and Avid are the broadcast industry standard. No point in teaching students editing software they will rarely use in industry.
