Completely agree.

It doesn't ;-)

"People that are interested in typesetting music" is a small market. The
Venn diagram of those with "people that are confident coders" is **tiny**.

As others have said, Lilypond has a reasonably steep learning curve. But
when I was learning to use that, I felt Sibelius was also often confusing
and unintuitive. And on that matter, Musescore is far, far worse, despite
doing much of what Lily does in a "wysiwyg" way.
