Impressive tool they made. They made this system like RED made the camera: With passion!

Have anybody actually use them. Why that it's so quiet and almost unheard of. They support RAW. Geez

They are at trade shows. Since this is a six figure system, it's the kind of thing where they talk directly with their potential customers.

fxguide has a podcast on them

2- It's more for a finishing system than anything else. The name is somewhat misleading since its main purpose is color grading, not compositing. It also has tools for dust busting, edit + conform, and some compositing. This way you can make fixes to the final project without having to bounce material to other programs.

Their new dust busting tools can do optical flow analysis to detect + repair crap. It works really well, though there's a few cases where it doesn't work (e.g. where there is heavy damage and it won't work if you clone from the next+previous frame if those frames have crap in the corresponding locations too)... you can manually paint to fix things. There is also an option to use information from an infrared scan pass.
