On a macpro 2009 with 32GB here with osx and win7, PP works exactly the same. Previews the same, I just found some codec options different between the 2 os's. Have no problems with scrubbing etc.  Only time I experienced that recently is on a stage design job i was doing and running PP and AE  at the same time on my MBP 2011 with 8 GB which would cause problems with dynamic linking and the playback in AE and PP especially which app had control of the hardware on the tower no problems.  What I have found that most PP probs seem to be due to low RAM.  I do however hit render a lot in PP but that is more a habit so it all plays well, I also do that in FCP.

My guess is that this isn't on Mac or with Long-GOP material, because my take is that Adobe hasn't lived up to the claims of native editing on this platform.  I still transcode to ProRes if I need to get work done in a time frame I can manage.  Half the time I scrub in Pr with Long-GOP, the video doesn't update, either at all, or at a rate above 2 FPS.

A lot of long form docs and low budget features are being shot on H264 / MPEG, and I doubt you're going to see many claims that they're cutting native on a Mac with Pr.  Sounds like a recipe for Seppuku.

I really want to love Pr, and I do for ProRes and DVCProHD editing.  But, I noticed I swear a lot more when trying to either edit native, or edit using my AJA card.  I hope these get the same respect that Pr Windows users get when CS6 comes out (or before would be nice, too!).

Is Premiere being used for long-form documentary and Feature work?
Yes. _Act of Valor_ and _Monsters_ spring to mind as recent examples.


Is it ever used for Broadcast work?
Yes. The BBC, Hearst, Turner, and several other organizations have moved to using it on some or all of their projects.

There are a lot of customer success stories on the Adobe website. Here's a link to one:

I got called in about a month ago to finish up a short 3 minute
corporate piece started by a communications manager. Seemed quite
stable and snappy compared to my minor foray's into Premiere in years
past.
