Sibelius is a really great software. It is not free, can't be run from a
wiki, but great, it even handles collisions pretty well.
Still I think it is worth spending time with LilyPond, it took me far
more than 1 month on the list, so congratulations, that you could create
complex scores after that short period of time.
I think there are cases when LilyPond is the perfect tool, and there are
situations when not.

I’ve been around for a short while only. A month with lilypond and 3
weeks on the list. Made a couple of scores, quite complex ones. But
for each and every one I had to fiddle for hours and hours trying to
grab all the details. All the while I had Sibelius at the ready and
whenever I did fallback finished the score in record time. This is
not going to continue I thought. I’d rather have a score that looks
85% than no score at all. So for now it’s quits with Lilypond.
Perhaps I’ll be back, I just don’t know. All that helped, many
thanks. I have now disabled the posts from the list, any reply have
to be personal.

Is this the equivalent of quitting your job and telling all of the
people there "you're all a bunch of idiots!" except that no one here
really cares whether or not you use lilypond?
For what it's worth, I lasted about the first time I downloaded
lilypond back in 2005, and then maybe four months the next time. And
it really wasn't until the documentation was re-written, and I had the
time to devote three months to learning lilypond that I finally got
it. Until that time (and while I was writing the music for my senior
recital) I unhappily used finale.
