We're well aware of the fact that MM is working towards promoting
Simple over Speedy for new users.

Add to that the fact that they are careless enough as to not mention
it in their page on all the various methods for entering notes:

http://www.finalemusic.com/Finale/features/enteringnotes/default.aspx

seems to me to be worth worrying about. The first paragraph says:

  * Enter notes with your computer keyboard and/or mouse.
  * Use your MIDI keyboard (or any other MIDI device) in combination
    with your computer keyboard and mouse to enter notes and chords.

  * Play a MIDI keyboard and watch your music appear on-screen in
    real time.
  * Use Finale´s exclusive MicNotator® to play notes into your
    microphone with a brass or woodwind instrument.
  * Scan existing sheet music.
  * Import MIDI, MusicXML, Smartscore, or Finale family notation
    files.
  No other notation software offers this breadth of note entry
  options.

No other?
Well, I know another one ... ;-)

If they are trying to promote Finale on the grounds of versatility of
getting notes into your files, why do they leave out one of the main
methods, Speedy entry?

They didn't.

Look:

  * Enter notes with your computer keyboard and/or mouse.

Isn't that Speedy entry?
