I cut it out now, but you misinterpreted it supported by my poor
wording :-)
I meant to imply that Clockwerk is a good application to show off
Haiku, but that it would not be something many people will actually
make use of. See below.

IMO, dealing with still images of any kind is something almost everyone
using a computer will do at some point. And not just once, too. Using a
video cut application is certainly becoming more popular (the cheaper
and better video cameras get), but is still rare compared to dealing
with still images.
That's just what I observed from personal experience, but what else
should I base my opinion on if there aren't actual field studies to
take into account? :-)
In any case, no one else has responded to this yet, so the score would
be 2:1 for including Clockwerk.
Bye,
Axel.
