Hi Han-Wen,
you can have the best of both worlds if you enter using finale and then musicxml2ly to go to .ly and do the typesetting.
Now that I think about it, I was originally just talking about "slamming in the pitches/durations"... Once I factor in the slurs, articulations, dynamics, text, etc., I think I now fully agree with Valentin: "note entry" (including *all* score markings) is actually faster overall in Lilypond than in Fin-Sib.
