On my side - I keep one eye open for good reasons to start the Sib
learning curve. So far, I haven't seen them. Could still happen, but
not so far.

When I started using Sibelius more intensely, I, too would
often think "that's so much easier in Finale" but most of
what I thought that about turned out simply to be that I
didn't understand how to do it in Sibelius yet.
But certain things remain easier in Finale, like not having
courtesy key signatures appear at the end of the previous
line when creating key changes.
But other things are easier in Sibelius, so it truly is (in
my opinion) a pretty even neck-and-neck horse race between
the two.
For some things I fire up Finale and for others I fire up
Sibelius, probably a bit more than Finale, but I haven't
abandoned it.
The way Sibelius does things is, to me at least, quite different than Finale
and there is a bit of a learning curve involved. But, I must agree that at
first something might seem easier in Finale, but it often turns out to be at
least as fast, if not faster in Sibelius. When comparing Finale 2010 &
Sibelius 6.2, I'd call the race pretty even and from what I see of Finale
2011, Finale isn't improving its position in the race. I too find myself
using both programs, but, and I hate to say this having been using Finale
since version 3.7, more & more I am using Sibelius instead of Finale.
