The way Sibelius does things is, to me at least, quite different than Finale and there is a bit of a learning curve involved. But, I must agree that at first something might seem easier in Finale, but it often turns out to be at least as fast, if not faster in Sibelius. When comparing Finale 2010 & Sibelius 6.2, I'd call the race pretty even and from what I see of Finale 2011, Finale isn't improving its position in the race. I too find myself using both programs, but, and I hate to say this having been using Finale since version 3.7, more & more I am using Sibelius instead of Finale.
