I've used Finale in its various versions for over 6 years now, and it's still widely considered in academia as the best notation software, not because of its ease-of-use but because of the depth to which one can add weird/special notation to the score.
In my experience, either composers are using Finale, or a combination of Sibelius and Adobe InDesign. This being said, most of the (albeit mostly American, or Americans in Europe) composers I have met/worked with often use notation software as the last step in the composition process.
The collaborative aspect of Flat.io is really nice, but until the depth of notation catches up to the desktop clients like Finale/Sibelius, I have a hard time seeing (at least) concert/academic composers make the switch.
Side note: is it possible to rebind the note values to different keys? I've gotten so used to Finale's 4=eighth, 5=quarter, command+(NUM) for duplets/triplets, etc.
