Nicolas de Toth changed from skeptic to convert while editing a new commercial featuring Mario Andretti:
I was aware of Premiere Pro for a long time, but I hadn’t given it a fair shot…
Overall, it was very nimble and I never found myself waiting for anything like I do on occasion with Avid… Editing is somewhat like writing. If your process is interrupted you can lose your train of thought, and with it your overall creativity. Premiere Pro was more fluid than I expected.

On a related note, this line from a DV Magazine review by Oliver Peters caught my eye:
Premiere Pro CC is definitely the best direct replacement for Final Cut Pro…It’s fast, handles a wide range of native media and is versatile in many situations…Adobe definitely has a winner in Premiere Pro CC.

I like this, but as a non-editor on the outside, it feels like this could’ve been a bought and paid for endorsement. Hope it isn’t.
