It seems people who write these kinds of topics don't read the rest of the Finale maillist.
While I sympathize with switching to Sibelius, I've been doing that for years, I must admit that I find Finale's new features, even if keeping the bugs, worth the upgrade. The new "combined" "arrow/mass mover" tool and the more "logical" menus have already saved me a lot of hours work. The "less new" linked parts are worth weeks or months. If Finale could make such progresses AND get rid of old bugs, I would stay with it. But new features without bugfixes is not enough to hold me there. And since most of our Finale problems are just not there in Sibelius... (EPS, PDF) I'm a loyal Finale user since 1.8 or so, and I know its ups and downs, and still, enough is enough....
