* Automatic software updates

* No need to back up data yourself

* Multi-user editing

* Mix and match with snippets composed by others

* Forking model

* Easy embedding on a webpage

But why would someone use this instead of Finale, Sibelius, or even MuseScore or Lilypond, all of which are very much better at score editing?
