I think different people think and work differently and this is why a
feature some like is deplored by others. Although I had almost 10 years
of successful Finale experience before moving primarily to Sibelius, I
much prefer the way Sibelius works. I have frequently said it seems to
think more like me. Perhaps Finale "thinks" more like you do. I think
this is why we have to very mature and very capable notation packages
that are quite different from each other.

If your not familiar with Sibelius, the keypad is an on screen

keyboard. There are selectable five tabs on the keypad and the cue
note switch is under the second. The entire process can be carried out
(except note selection) without a mouse.
I find this interface incredibly difficult, as I'm constantly having
to switch between the different keypads to find what I want (which
never seems to be on the tab that I expect). This is one of the
reasons I find Sibelius difficult to use -- it just seems to me to be
a false limitation of the GUI because of a binding to the keyboard.
