It is pretty nice software, don't get me wrong, but it's not perfect, 
and it's very expensive.  It's MIDI import screws stuff up a lot, and 
I've had problems writing drum tracks.  There was this one MIDI version 
of a Dream Theater song I was using so I could learn the tune for a band 
I was in, and Finale didn't play it back correctly (there were some 
wierd triplets).  The exact same MIDI file imported into Rosegarden 4 
played back with the correct rhythm.
