From a copy editor who uses both on a consistent basis, I would argue both programs can do virtually anything. Sibelius has a leg up on Finale for me, due to Finale's struggling lyrics system.
I think Sibelius is a little more user-friendly than Finale is.
Finale has better playback, but Sibelius has a comments note system.
Both are excellent programs.
The point is to get writing. Not to be altruistic, but I think the best music is yet to be written.

@100jllp Sibelius has academic discounts as well.

finale, definitely.

I say that Sibelius is more user-friendly, but you find that more places are Finale-friendly. It's weird, I know, but it's sort of like comparing Mac to Windows. I personally use Finale, but I don't mind Sibelius, and sometimes prefer it when the mood hits me.

@MadMagezz what's the simplest thing in Sibelius that you can not do in Finale?
-
@MadMagezz Yes, Sibelius 7 is more Friendly. The design of Finale is like word 2003, but the design of Sibelius 7 is like Word 2010

It's like comparing which car-factory drives the best..

@MChiribogaD simple things, which you have to do intuitively you cannot do. Im definitely experienced computer user, especially with music programs, but i had to waste my time and read the manual to make the most simple stuff working.
