2) This is what Apple users want, a simple "just works" for most.
agreed. and it's one of the main reasons that I moved toward an exclusively apple-based workflow over the past 10 years.

3) Any production Machine has a million things connected to it. So the fact that you have to plug >in a million wires into the thing is a mute point.
completely agree as well. most people plug a bunch of shit in, so complaining that they are going to have plug shit in and that will 'ugly' or 'clutter' it up, is definitely a moot point.

This is cheaper than I thought it would be.
i was a bit surprised as well. pleasantly! i was thinking starting price would be $3499, or even $3799. i still have my 2009 mac pro that i'm contemplating replacing with the new mac pro in december.

I still think anyone basing their video or audio off of Apple is insane since they have continued to show that they are more than willing to put pro users on the back burner for what 3 years and need I tell you the Final Cut Pro fiasco?
I love apple hardware and software, but i don't rely on their professional software. Before FCPX issues, i was running Final Cut 7 and Lightroom. Never really liked aperture (for a whole hosts of reasons) so that wasn't an issue. But once FCPX came out I switched to a mixture of Resolve and Premiere/AE. i actually see this HUGE update to the Mac Pro as showing professionals how they don't want us to be on the back burner anymore.
