Most of us tend to lean towards adobe. I don't see how you could disagree, most likley just because you use something diffrent. also classes at my highschool, and all the colleges I've been to offer classes on most all of adobe apps, not much of anything else though. I don't think think you have much of anything to back your statement up of, "No."
The reason why I disagree is because experience has nothing to do with what software you use. I can provide anecdotal examples of AMV editors -- mexicanjunior, Red Wolf, Kai Stromler, nightowl, so on -- but that would be unnecessary.
I have seen
amazing videos done with old equipment, and
really bad videos done with modern equipment.
Yes, the Adobe applications are the most reviewed. Yes, they have the most questions asked about them. If anything, it just shows that Adobe has a really good marketing campaign. It says nothing about the creator's ability, which leads into my second objection.
The other reason why I argue this point so passionately is because it seems that more and more people are getting the idea that having some sort of 3l33t editing suite is a prerequisite to being a good AMV editor, and IMO it's statements like yours that perpetuate this falsity.
