A religious war wasn't my intent either. I'm pretty sure either app
works very well. As the video shows, we are lucky to have both. I
remember (vividly), as both a copyist and a performer, the pen and ink
days and am glad that's past.
Someone commented about line thickness. After working a bit with my
first Sib version, I noticed that I could read in performance it more
easily than my current (v.98) Finale files. The Finale lines were so
delicate that it was difficult to separate ledger lines from staff
lines. I set the Finale lines thicker and solved the problem. When the
next Finale version came out, I noticed that the default line thickness
had been changed to something more like Sib's.
Do you mean nested (curly) brackets or braces? It is easy to get nested
braces but, the last time I tried, the bracket was not available. While
I prefer the brace and consider them (roughly) equivalent, I know that
others may not and some publishers may not.

Hoping not to continue a religious war, I offer the fact that I never
could get past the template setup in Sib. because it apparently lacks
nested desk brackets. (As in, e.g., The Rite of Spring).
