Premiere 6.5 better than Pro? (pictures and video examples)

I know that Premiere Pro has many improvements but I think Adobe left out some important features of Premiere 6.5. Since many people (and even some close friends) seem to not understand what I was referring too, I made a little webpage with pictures and small gif video explainings - because I know that an animated example is much more clear than a verbal one.

Those features while beneficial are not important to me - ppro is light years ahead - why dont you head over to adobe's feature request section of there website and show them you problems. Remember, ppro was rebuilt from the ground up so I'm sure they may have forgotten some features or decided some were not important - let them know.
 
I am curious wich of the Premiere Pro features made you say " ppro is light years ahead" ?

- I also made some small updates to the webpage in regard to what you said.
 
..yeah, suffice it to say that i would never in a million years go back to 6.5. all the issues youve posted are pretty trivial IMHO. once you get the flow of it down, you wont even notice that youve clicked the mouse 2x instead of one or hit another key instaed of holding another. its a very small learning curve, and it all happens so quickly. I vastly prefer the workflow of 1.5 personally. but youve made some interesting observations none the less.
 
I never really used premiere much, before Pro. Unless you count Premiere 4 & 5. PPro seems like the logical solution for a DVX user because of its 24ap support. But it's only a tool and use whatever tool works best for you.
 
about moving windows to the other monitor, i just don't maximize it and stretch the program to fill both monitors, then you can put them wherever.
 
6.5 was good while it lasted. When I was introduced with 24p, I had no choice but to upgrade. I've adapted pretty well with Premiere pro. Sometimes you just have to let certain things go and learn how to adapt with the updates.
 
iamloser : I guess it all depends on what kind of work you are doing with the software. Sometimes my work requires to open the software and for 16 hours or more, to constantly put effects on clips, erase them, change them, copy them and so on. And after clicking with the mouse all day long and many days after - you start to feel a big difference if you are required to do 1000 clicks or 2000 or more clicks.

ecarr : I know that - I use the same thing for Premiere Pro but it's not quite the same. Basicaly when you avoid maximizing and stretch the whole window - you have less room.

BLUESPIDER : I can work very well with 24P with Premiere 6.5 . I either choose 24 frame - no fields - and stay with that -or I convert to PAL at the end by speeding up a little. I think Premiere Pro 24 P is required especially for NTSC.
- I know that sometimes you have to let certain things go in order to upgrade - but that doesn't stop me from asking myself : WHY ?
- Why with some programs, each updates brings only improvements and touch nothing else. Like with 3ds max for example. Or Discreet Combustion. Discreet Combustion is exactly the same from version 2 to 4. It has only new features. All the old tools are exactly the same. And what a fine product Combustion is.
- But other softwares when updated, decide to loose something behind them. I understand if you are talking about changing a defective tool with a better one. But to completelly discard some features and replace them with nothing else ?
- Premiere Pro isn't the only software wich does that. For example with my HTML editor - NetObject Fusion - is the same story. Version 8 has only MINOR improvements, and with some improvements (wich again - I don't use) I lost some convenient ways of work. That's why I decided to stay with version 7.5
- But it's good to know that not every software is like that.
