My experience is a bit different although, now, I do not miss Finale so much. I started using Finale about 27 years ago and enjoyed 99% of every minute using it. It allowed me to do things so much easier than manually writing notation on staff paper. I did not have the best of luck with playback in Finale as that, in my opinion, was a lot more cryptic especially when one needed to send control changes to a VST.
Now with 18 months or so of Dorico under my belt, I no longer waste time on wanting or reminiscing about Finale v27. The user environment seemed a bit more refined than Dorico, even now, but Dorico works from a completely different perspective so I surmise that Dorico will ultimately have a very refined user interface very, very soon. (And no, I am not going down a rabbit hole with anyone wanting to know why I think this!)
I churned out about 350 new compositions in Finale over the last 5 years that I used it and never considered screaming about Finale not doing what I want - it did do what I wanted 99% of the time. So that 1% of time where I was frustrated with it had to do with playback and getting CCs to various VSTs including MakeMusic’s own Garritan libraries which one would think would not be an issue - but it was, at times.
Nevertheless, I obtained both the Dorico and the Sibelius crossgrades. I spent about a day with each as I acquired them. Although Dorico was not as intuitive as the marketing claimed (at least to this old brain), Sibelius was even less intuitive to me so Dorico became my choice. I keep Sibelius running just in case a publishing house prefers to have Sibelius files. But I have no qualms at this point being a dedicated Dorico user and I have no intentions of renewing my Finale skills.
