I'm glad they're recommending Dorico as a replacement. I've been using it off and on for several years now and it feels like a true modern music notation system. The growing pains are pretty much gone, too. I just spent a few hours demoing Dorico for a friend who's only ever used Finale but has always been frustrated with it, and she was pretty impressed by Dorico.

That's pretty sad! I started off studying music when I first got to college. Finale is the software we used. I played with Notepad at home since it was free. I was also trying out Flash and making some rough animations too. I wrote a few songs they I liked. That was over a decade ago though.
I'm a software developer now, so I understand the movement of time for technology. It's cool that better stuff has come, but Finale has a special place in my heart.
