If people are shouting that FCPX isn't 'pro'. Can an update fix it?

Question

Oke, I've read through a great deal of feedback on these forums now.
I see some comments:
1) Lack of import options
2) MPG2 support
3) Plugin support
4) Whatever more
Now my question is: CAN AN UPDATE FIX THIS?
Say that Apple can fix most complaints in an update, would you be happy then?
YES: Then the foundation for FCPX is good enough and I'll wait for an update
NO: Then it really is unfixable and 'as you call it', an iMovie+, beyond resque. In that case i'll look further

Answer 1

MPEG2 is terrible to edit with, but native support for it could be helpful in some situations (say you need to quickly pull footage off of a DVD without major hassle), but I see that as more of a luxury—it wasn't supported natively in FCP7, and I never really missed it.
The real question is how long it takes Apple to reinstate the functionality that was lost in the switch from 7 to X—and more importantly IF they decide to reinstate the functionality that we need. I think probably XML interchange (or something like it) will be coming soon, and multicam shortly thereafter. Third parties will start writing plugins for the new architecture, so my guess is that legacy FXPlug plugins will never be supported. Still, there's a huge laundry list of things that FCPX can't do right now, and it seems generous to think that all that functionality could be added back even within 18 months' time—and by then, FCP7 will be nearly four years old and crawling around on its hands and knees.
Other things, I'm not sure I can imagine them being fixed. The new interface seems to discourage organizing audio into tracks (as in, Dialogue 1, Music, SFX, etc.), so my guess is that OMF support will always be sketchy at best, and probably only offered as a paid third-party option. The interface seems to defy customizability, and I can't see Apple devoting the resources that would be required to fix that. External monitoring is a bit of a wildcard. It's such a glaring omission that Apple may have to include it, but it's also possible that they'll leave it up to third parties to develop ways to monitor out (for an additional cost, of course).
There's also the question of whether these will be free updates, or whether additional functionality from Apple will be priced a-la-carte, driving the cost of a working NLE back up to $800-1200, where it used to be. I'm willing to pay more than $300 for a good 64-bit version of FCP, but I've already sunk thousands into FCP, and the lack of a direct upgrade path really irks me.
Again, this is all provided that Apple decides to give us the features we need.
What it boils down to for me is the attitude with which Apple has treated this release—with an utter lack of disrespect for the people that depend on FCP for serious—and COLLABORATIVE—work, handing off timelines to Da Vinci colorists and Flame artists, shooting EDLs off to negative cutters, that sort of thing. Apple's response to our concerns so far has been worse than dismissive, and that alone is enough to make me want to switch to Premiere.
