I'm not saying it is inconceivable that a DOS-based relic of a program would be considered superior to any open source or commercially developed notation software over the last twenty years, but claims like this set my bullshit detector clanging like a chinese fire drill.
Think of it this way- if you were a major publisher and were dependent upon trained professional engravers to provide you with a massive variety of material, would it make good business sense at all to insist that all these engravers, many graduating from Berklee or some other school where Finale or Sibelius is the standard, learn another format? Or pay someone to translate output from other formats into the *DOS-based* score? Just sayin'...
