If I ever wil need a GUI experience I want a real GUI centered program
like Musescore, Sibelius, Finale, or Dorico (I have not yet decided which
one to go for.)
I have experience mostly with Sibelius and Finale, and since I switched to Ubuntu recently, also with MuseScore. I wouldn’t recommend Finale at all. It requires the most manual tweaks of all three. If you’re used to Lilypond, I think you would be very irritated ;-). Sibelius is in general an excellent choice (except for its disenchanting Opus font): the things that it gets wrong in terms of spacing can be easily and quickly corrected with two clicks. I read that even that’s been automated in the most recent version, so the layout is probably very good by default. More accidental rules, like Lilypond has, is something I really miss in Sibelius.

I would. I just downloaded Denemo and tried it once again. It’s a horrible experience. Sorry.
I have tried denemo in the past several times. I never managed to
understand the workflow.

Everytime I keep going back to my text editor (vim) to write my LilyPond
scores, or Frescobaldi if I need more luxury. Works best and fastest for
me.
I have a simple texteditor even in my phone - I can write scores anywhere.
