Sibelius is better
I've been using Finale since the unbelievably awful days of version 1. The company (Coda, Make Music, whatever) has been horrible in updating the program, often taking years to address major problems, but I kept buying the upgrades, again and again... I must have spent at least $1500 or more on this program since I first bought it.
The delay to get Finale into OSX was the final straw, though, and I finally investigated Sibelius. You know what? It's a better, faster, easier-to-use program. I just bought Sibelius and I'm not looking back.

About time
I can't wait. The BEST notation program for music is going to run on OS X. And it's going to kick that lame a** Sibelius program's a**.
Finale is THE program to use. It allows you to tweak, move, modify, EVERYTHING. Sibelius does not. I'm looking forward to finally ditching OS 9 for good!

"I can't wait. The BEST notation program for music is going to run on OS X. And it's going to kick that lame a** Sibelius program's a**."
That may be, but it's still a pretty damned S***** application and Coda Music (or whatever that fucked up company now calls itself) is one of the shittiest companies I've ever seen on the Mac (they damn near rival Microsoft, h***, Microsoft is better).
Somebody needs to come along and write a nice, Mac OS X/Cocoa based application to replace Finale. Why not like a Final Cut Pro equivalent for the music notation world.

OS9?
Why the f*** are they going to waste time and resources on 2004b with OS 9 support? How out of touch with reality are these people?
(And based on the amount of time it took them to get an OS X version out the door, I have to wonder what the h*** these guys do all day. Does a Finale programmer spend 8 1/2 hours eating donuts and playing computer games, and a half hour programming every day or how is it that they're so goddamned SLOW?)

2004
Wow, a product with "2004" in the name that will actually ship in 2004 instead of 2003! What a concept! Or maybe they'll rename it Finale 2005 just to be stupid like everyone else.

Yes, Sibelius is better
I am also a long-time Finale user (since version 1, at $1000). I awaited releases year after year hoping that the product would match the vision, but it never did. The final straw was their inexcusable delay with the OSX version. Sibelius is a breath of fresh air - intuitive, simple and powerful. Sorry, Finale....
