On the Mac, that is not strictly true. FinMac 2002 was an almost perfect program, and I would still be using it today were it not for the fact that it will not run under Mac OSX. OSX required me to "upgrade" to Finale 2K4--which was in fact no upgrade at all, but a buggy step backward. All subsequent Mac versions of Finale use 2K4 as a baseline--and indeed, 2K7 is a superior product to 2K4, though it is still dramatically inferior to 2K2.
I too was very happy with 2k2 and upgraded to 2k4 only because of the OS.
I don't think I'd call 2k4 dramatically inferior to 2k2, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything I care about that it does better than 2k2 did.
I'm just happy not to have to run Classic anymore. It looked funny and it required me to do a detour through PDF in order to print. When I first switched to 2k4 the different look was a distraction, but now that I'm used to it, I like that it has a look consistent with everything else in OS X.
