Well, I agree with your overall point, but is simply not even close 
to fair to compare a Finale document to a word processing document. 
There are several orders of magnitude of differences in complexity 
between the two. Indeed, even a PageMaker file is several orders of 
magnitude simpler.

While I would agree that extracting parts really ought to be 
substantially easier, and layout and spacing easier, too, comparing 
Finale to trivial applications is just not helpful.
