It's not clear what level of success the improved FCP X has had in bringing back former FCP 7 users to the fold. A lot of users moved to Avid or Adobe Premiere, which both have a workflow that is much closer to FCP 7, and the vendors made major efforts to attract FCP users that were on the fence.
Anecdotally, I know a film school where they used to teach on both Avid and FCP. When FCP X came out, they abandoned the use of FCP in classes entirely because it didn't do the things they needed to teach anymore. Now that they've gone through the pain of restructuring the classes, they're not going to take another look at FCP X any time soon.
