I've had some experience in designing and modifying user interfaces. On the other hand there is Dorico which works in many ways in similar fashion (playback options), but is modern, looks great and is mostly self explanatory. Good that they have trial + extended paid trial (subscription I mean ). There are awesome things there, but whenever I try to find anything there, I always end up in Google. well, for me it was total, nerve wrecking mess. And that plugin thing? Seriously, every submenu needs their own plugins submenu? Who does that? For me it's clearly software from long gone era and if you started Sibelius journey in that era I guess you will be fine (because you got used to it, not because it is smart / good design). Sibelius is huge mess, hides important things under tiny elements, which doesn't even look like may be clickable (no visual feedback at all), confuses with menus within menus, doesn't remember such simple things as export folders. Pretty much everything what this guy says was true for me.
