I have been saying something similar since 1969 B.C. (Before Computers.)  I even worked briefly on an install with Ken Aitken, who automated a station about the same time and place that Paul Schafer did.  So he may have been the first, I don't know.  You ALWAYS have to determine your needs and get the system that will match that.  Not the other way around.  I have seen Rivendell at the NAB and it looks good.  It's just that I have had no hands-on experience with it, as Cowboy has.It was developed by broadcasters for broadcasters, so that is a big something in its favor.
