Jonathan didn't start this, he was _asked_ to send this list. We all know (or should know) that such lists are indeed biased. However, I often get asked which software I would recommend, and not knowing Sibelius much I often have to say "Sibelius seems to be prefered by a lot of people for it's easier learning curve, while Finale has more flexible engraving options". I would indeed like to know some of the pros and cons in more detail. Ie it would help me a lot if I knew that Sibelius simply cannot do certain things, which I know certain people will need. If you think this list is not accurate, can you tell us exactly where it isn't accurate? And if there is someone who could give us a list of 69 reasons why not to prefer Finale over Sibelius (or 100 if you like) that would be very welcome, too. This is not about sniping.
