I'm confused -- finale just makes files also.  All three notation 
products produce their own proprietary format, they can produce midi 
files and they can produce MusicXML files and they can export their 
notation as graphic files.


I don't see how Finale files are any more versatile, or how Sibelius and 
Dorico files are any less versatile than Finale files.


The one edge that Finale has (and I consider it only a very tiny edge) 
is that it can produce SmartMusic files.  Since I don't use SmartMusic 
and I am not producing files for others to use with SmartMusic, it's a 
meaningless tiny edge to me.


But then maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, which wouldn't 
surprise me.
