BS!
I've never heard such BS in my life! I've worked at a TV station for about 5 years, and I edited on a LINEAR AMIGA 2000, that's right, DECK TO DECK VHS, and I have WON NUMEROUS AWARDS for my work.
I've kicked the CRAP out of other productions done on the latest and greatest non-linear systems, from Adobe Premiere to $20,000+ Avid editing systems!

I've kicked the CRAP out of other productions done on the latest and greatest non-linear systems, from Adobe Premiere to $20,000+ Avid editing systems! All because the creator belived that by having an expensive editing system, it would MAGICALLY make him or her more creative... or magically make the edits in better locations... or make their graphics and special effects look better...
Truthfully, most of the time, when an editor gets to use an expensive or more advanced editing system they LET THE TECHNOLOGY GET IN THE WAY OF CREATIVITY!
It is really insulting when people who wish to improve themselves in a particular field believe that it's the TECHNOLOGY that will make them better, when the power to improve themselves is WITHIN THEMSELVES!!!
I apologize for my rant, but this thread hit a very personal nerve of mine. I'll get off the soap-box now...

I really hate this idea.
The software you use really shouldn't have any bearing on the quality of what you produce. All this would do is reinforce a myth that you need expensive software to do good things.
