It seems that must of the function that Finale users have with Staff 
Styles is lacking in Dorico at the moment.  I don't think there is any 
support for slash notation or rhythmic notation, for example.  That 
rules it out for me for the time being.

I cannot find any reference to one-bar and two-bar repeats in Dorico.  
If it is there, I cannot find it.

I think this reflects a very strong bias toward classical engraving.  
But they certainly are working to incorporate the things that are needed 
for contemporary music.  The most recent release added chord support.  
The chord support is very nice. They are thinking through these things 
very well, but I would have to agree with you that the product is not up 
to professional use yet, at least for contemporary music.  I cannot 
conceive of very many projects I would do that does not require at least 
some slash bars, rhythmic notation, or bar repeats.
