No disrespect at all intended...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all functionality comes at a price. While the scaled down Sibelius First sells for "only" $120.00 the full version Sibelius 7 is a $600.00 product so comparisons to BIAB are not apples/apples.

And speaking of Apple...the Mac OS after ALL these years still has only a single digit share of the worldwide market so suggesting that its appearance ought to be a standard for any other software product isn't substantiated by MAC OS installations.

Windows 8 sales have also been less-than-expected since its touchscreen capabilities haven't been as popular as Microsoft thought.

Personally, I would vastly prefer PG to continue to work on music-related functionality features and not cosmetics which...again from my own personal point of view...are fine.

What I mean by that is whether the BIAB interface resembles any other interface...Mac or Windows...is irrelevant to me.
