It definitely feels like Apple is concentrating on the amateur market. I wouldn't say it is geared towards pro users. What they showed would be great for the kind of people who buy the air. Personally, I don't care how much my laptop weighs or how big it is as long as it fits in my backpack.
The touch strip is great for scrubbing, that part I liked, but pro users do not use contextual menus like that. They know all the keyboard shortcuts. Scrolling through photos, sliders, scrubbing, timelines, all good use for the touch strip. Menus, not so much.
In Photoshop, why would I go through menus to get to the control to change the brush size when I can just press '[' or ']'. And if a person was really a pro they would have a pen with pressure sensitivity already that allows them to change opacity, size, etc by pressing harder.
The DJ demo interface looked extremely cumbersome. It's a great alternative if your controller breaks but there's a reason physical sliders and knobs exist. They are easier to use. If you're a professional DJ you are going to use a dedicated external controller. Great if you want to tinker or are an amateur, but not for a professional.
