Vincent Laforet respond­ing to Jim Jannard of RED:

Every cam­era has it’s place. Every cam­era excels in some things — and fails in oth­ers. Every end user has spe­cific needs, qual­ity stan­dards, and budgets…

In the end — learn all of the tools (if you can) — and use the best tool for any given job.

Jim made a blunt com­ment about a cer­tain Canon Commercial that made quite a buzz in the pho­to­graphic & DSLR flim­mak­ing. He is a tech­ni­cal guy and the cam­era he invented con­tin­ues to shape the dig­i­tal cin­e­matog­ra­phy field, but there’s one prob­lem, aside from a tech­ni­cally capa­ble cam­era (on paper), his com­pany tends to over promise and under deliver, some­time between the wait, the HD-DSLR cam­eras started to appear and gained a wide audi­ence sup­port in the main­stream film­mak­ing indus­try, I’m not sur­prised if Jim is pissed off for that, but call­ing oth­ers names and telling them to be ashamed is just a bad, bad move.
