It would be an interesting thing to have someone go through the various
versions, and try to do a page of music in various versions of Finale
through the ages. I'm sure some of you Windows owners, who pride
themselves for being able to run old versions of software, could do it.

This would be in line with my theories of ease of learning vs. ease
of use. Score was a program that was *very* daunting to learn, but
once you got past that, it was extremely fast for inputting music
(though I always felt very insecure with it, since you put the
different aspects in as layers in strings of characters -- make one
mistake and everything would be off).
I think Finale *is* easy to use in a lot of ways (though there are
many obvious bottlenecks, too), and has been getting easier in
important ways over the last few years.
As far as Finale has yet to go, we tend to forget how far it has come
in the last 10 years.
