The Musescore features that show and play notes as they are entered are 
very nice. I can see those would grow on me. But I've used Musescore for 
maybe 2 projects ever, although I've set it up for several other people. 
I mostly do transcription work, and I am more productive if I don't have 
to think about page layout questions until I'm done. Then LilyPond does 
its thing, and I only have to look for anything that wants adjusting.

When someone asks me for help choosing notation software, I reply with 
some form of "They all have some strong points, and they all have some 
frustrations."
