I use Sibelius and have never used Finale, though I cooperate with
publishers (Rosewood) who do. Things seem much less clumsy in Sibelius.
Before choosing it, I consulted a composer friend, who said that Sibelius
was definitely the product of choice. Of course, people who have used Finale
for years have quite a resistance to change.
