Cubase is looking very sleek these days too and its exceptionally powerful reliable and smooth - light years ahead of PG. They even have the Sibelius team working on a new Score package.
Before anyone says it costs more, its about the same price as BIAB. The development team are simply way ahead.

So if you like Cubase so much better, why do you even bother with BIAB at all?
I'm guessing it's because BIAB does many things cubase can't do at all.
To me the comparison is more like the decision between marrying a beautiful but dumb blonde who never wants me to touch her because it might mess up her hair, or a not-quite-as-beautiful woman who is smart, can engage conversationally on many topics, can cook like a chef, has rich parents and a strong libido. THAT woman would be fun... and so is BIAB.
