Yes. I'm in the entertainment biz too (at least as far as music production goes). Most of what I hear borders religious zealotry when it comes to preferred editors for music and video.
Personally, I'm agnostic when it comes to operating systems and work-flow methods and software used to produce "works-of-art." It's not the tools you use ... it's the results you get. It's the sign of a poor carpenter who blames his tools etc., ad nauseum. Besides, I prefer to work in the real world, not the digital world.
I do appreciate that you are much more proficient and knowledgeable about video editing. My suggestions were based on the fact that Final Cut Pro and Vegas and Premiere all cost about the same price and produce about the same quality of material without getting into broadcast quality.
I feel the same about music production. If you have a crappy microphone and a crappy sound card and you use Audacity to produce your music you probably won't be getting a job at a recording studio anytime soon. But that shouldn't stop you from doing what you love.
I also realize that you were not talking directly to me in your reply. It was just a snarky reply from me. Perhaps I should have used a smilie face.
