And why this is important? Well, I hold the belief that these open source tools are responsible for the democratization of the trade.

The fact that such a big Oscar winning movie was edited using open source tools is an example for many newcomers in the industry that you don't necessarily have to go with one of the "big A's" (Avid, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk), to be considered a pro.
