Ever since the Lucasfilm's Editroid and Montage system (c1982, when "electronic
cinema" came and went as fast as Francis C.'s Hollywood General purchase),
tout le monde has realized that something as fast as a CMX (video editing
computer but asci based) and as tactile (and spatialized) as film
editing is the Hot Item for post-production. Both Editroid and Montage
died, almost.

Several years later, the 2nd generation of these systems appeared, mac-based.
Lucasfilm did their version for multimedia which they called "Econodroid."
The Cadillac is the Avid system today.

This guy needs to check the past year's worth of video trade journels, where
"desktop editing" is a common topic.
