It's true that if you're a home user with a LOT of video to edit, what you want is Final Cut Pro on a Mac. Premiere has come a long way, but you just can't beat Final Cut Pro. Plenty of Hollywood pro's use Final Cut Pro; none (or very few) use Premiere. They use Windows, but they use it with Avid and various high-cost dedicated setups.

Even the new Final Cut Express for $300 beats Premiere in most home-video particulars. That Evil Disgruntled Former Microsoft Employee who fell in love with his Mac after he switched, the man wern't lyin'. I gave my former-grad-student son a new Aluminum Powerbook for his degree present, and a couple of weeks later I got an email from him that had almost exactly the same words the EDFME used: "I think I'm in love with my computer." He had been a Windows user since middle school.
