I was very impressed with Justin, and am sorry he has gone, but won't be "doom-saying" about the product, something that is always grounded in supposition, and, it seems to me, some people's propensity to be negative. The floodgates opened big time with all that when Daniel and some of the team left, but here we are 13 years later, with product development alive and well, though of course not beyond criticism or improvement.
I thank Marianna for her reassuring post (it would be good to know your surname and Avid email address). With Finale gone, it can't be healthy for the music notation software market to end up with only one flagship product, Dorico, an outcome I see some are already predicting elsewhere based on one person's departure here, so I would prefer to believe in Sam and the rest of the current team, and indeed Avid itself.
See you all here in another 13 years!
