Yeah, but I keep it classy, Valentine! I mean, making fun of
somebody's girly name is high culture, whereas pointing out a lack
of "bling" in an open-source project is just plain rude.

Dude, there's a ton of things that Finale does easier. You want
some symbol somewhere? Just drag it there with the mouse, look at
it, drag it somewhere else.
Now, you know, and I know, that this doesn't scale nicely to
dealing with a hundred-page score, particularly if you want to
change margins or page sizes or whatnot -- you'd need to manually
redo all your absolutely positioned marks. But I'd bet that most
Finale users don't do anything more complicated than a 3-page
arrangement of "Jingle Bells" for SATB+piano, so the "scaling"
argument is hard to make.
LilyPond is not the best tool for every person in the world, and
there's nothing wrong with admitting that.
