In general, one big problem is that _all_ GUIs for UNIX seem to have stopped development with respect to adding new features to support related features from cdrtools. It seems that Debian was very successfull when they started to attack cdrtools 10 years ago. I use cdrtools from command line... k3b may be the most actively developed GUI (with respect to features) besides the russion GUI that only works on Win-DOS. GUIs: k3b - no new version since January 2011 xcdroast - no new version since February 2010 brasero - insists in running as root thus insecure (GUIs should not have enhanced privileges) even though cdrtools manage priv separation Seems to have less features than xcdroast writing software: cdrkit - > 100 open bugs, no development since May 2007 cdrdao - no bugfix since 2009, no development since May 2005 dvd+rw-tools - no bugfix since Mach 2008, no development since Jan 2007 cdrskin - not ready for general use (no UDF, no DVD-video, audio deficient) cdrtools - last release: yesterday ;-) The question in general is: are people still interested in optical disks?
