I'm not so sure I see your complaint... Programs like this a geared towards a very niche market. Not your average joeshmoe internet user who wants to fool around with the software. The companies need to price the software accordingly in order to make a profit. Apps like FCP, Maya and others aren't going to sell as many units as game or something similar, simply because the average user doesn't *need* it.
According to the Apple page for FCE: "The next feature release of Final Cut Express will be a Universal application, which will run on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Mac computers." (see: <a class="user" href="http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress)">http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress)</a> The page does not mention, however whether an affordable "crossgrade" will be available to current users. I am holding off purchasing a new Intel iMac until I know whether Apple is offering an FCE crossgrade.

I think everyone realizes poting is a time consuming process -- that's why professionals are sticking with PPC Macs.
