The problem is that there were not the complaints on

contained some serious bugs, they didn't affect
users to the same extent
that Finale's bugs have affected Finale users.
The reality is that Sib5.0 was more ready for prime
time than Finale2k8.
And Sib5.1 has addressed those bugs.
Anybody know anything about Finale2k8A yet?
I disagree with you. I found the bugs in Sib 5.0 to be
more severe and more in-your-face than those with
Finale 2008. Sibelius 5 crashed several times on me
within my first 30 minutes of use, each time while
doing different actions. And I also disagree that
there has been less complaining. You talk about the
list, but what about their chat page? People ran into
plenty of problems with it, and I'd say that fewer
problems (and fewer serious ones) were pointed out on
MakeMusic's forum than on Sibelius'.
Point taken -- I don't visit Sibelius' chat pages any more than I visit
MakeMusic's forum.
I haven't run into those bugs you found so easily. If others have, then
so be it, I bow to your greater experience and investigation.
So both programs suck -- we just each need to decide which sucks less
for the kind of engraving we do, and which program has the company more
dedicated to seeing that it keeps sucking less, I guess.
