Most of the top educational programs use it too. There is a cross-grade available that cuts the price for Finale or Sibelius. For me, the clincher for Finale for my needs is that it can read Encore files. Sibelius can't. Notation is a bit too new for me. It's a very cool design with how the playback is married to the notation, but it's got less features as I recall. I think EM or Keyboard in their November 2006 issue covered notation programs as a specific focus.
