Finale vs Lilypond. I’m convinced only the Borg actually uses Lilypond. It’s obscure, terrifying and difficult to use. Maybe it’s because I’ve been using finale for over 14 years but it’s hard for me to even conceptualize how to make music in Lilypond, whereas Finale just does whatever I ask of it.
Musescore is also a good FOSS alternative but I still stick by finale.
