I don't agree, even if I'm a Mac user that likes nice GUIs. (But I'm  
also a programmer...)

Keying in notes like 'a4. bes8 g( e)' is *much* faster and easier  
than mousing them in some GUI app (I used HarmonyAssistant for some  
years).

It may be better if you've got a MIDI keyboard and can handle it good  
enough to just play your music, but if you must place every note with  
your mouse, it's horrible...

I sometimes use midi2ly, but it's mostly more work than writing  
everything from scratch (because MIDI knows no partials, repeats etc.).
