My experience is that Final Cut Pro is used more in lower end production and smaller "boutique" post houses.
Media 100 is gaining popularity due to its' price point, but the "big guys" still use AVID pretty much exclusively. They were the first viable non-linear editing system and gained such a large part of the market, that all of the really experienced editors cut their teeth on them, and it can be difficult to find a top rate editor in a big market who will use anything else.
As a manager, AVID can be a real pain in the play list. In fact, some of my friends and I call them AVOID.

I hear you on this one!
I'm always having hardware issues with AVID! Right now, it won't play well with my codec. I get still frames but when I go to video I just get a black screen output...
I'll see if Pinnacle works any better. From what I understand, once you've been able to work through the intricacies of AVID, you can do just about anything.
Hope that's true.
