Hardware auto worked fine but connecting it all together each and every
time you boot up is a total pain.
And it wasn't so much that the initial cost was so much but that
between very slow and mostly inadequate support (the forums last I
checked and that was a while ago- I basically gave up on it- were of not
much use and none of the advise I got worked.) and then that the
software was integrated but not with any of the hardware so just to
start it took forever each time.
Lastly they get you as badly as any other proprietary software for
upgrades- and given that everything is somewhat older versions you need
the upgrades as soon as they come out.
I just felt it didn't work for writing music (composing in the older sense).

I would not say it is expensive in absolute terms - it compares

then again, compared with something that's free, I guess everything

The hardware autodetection is fairly good. So is the support. I have
two reservation about the product:
- Claiming you can boot on a CD and save your data on a USB storage
device does not
work all that well: CD drives are just too slow and noisy for
comfort ! I have not tried to install
it on a hard disk, but I would expect it to work much better.
- As far as I have been able to see, there is no facility to edit
double-stave Piano scores, making it cumbersome
as a Lilypond front-end, at least for me... It might be adequate
for string quartets though...

Expensive
Lilypond is integrated with Rosegarden
I found it to be a total pain
and the version of Lily is 2.2 which isn't really adequate anymore.
2.6.1 now, it seems :

Total pain in what sense ?
Integration of Lilypond with Rosegarden is a pain ?
Anyway, expensive indeed.
And only one license per copy.
