I guess I actually didn't actually answer this yet, so here goes... (a) User for 15 years, since version 2.2 for Windows. Set more than 250 contemporary scores (traditional notation as well as complex and graphical) in Finale, 30 for full orchestra, with parts. Work for myself and a dozen clients, including my own small publisher (Westleaf Edition). (b) Bug fixes at this point are the single new "feature" that is essential to purchase any new versions of Finale. (c) Purchased Finale at full price and 11 upgrades, skipping only two previous upgrades (98 and 2004) with a total investment of about $1,500. Will skip 2008 and instead have purchased the Sibelius crossgrade.
