The main problem I have with GUI's is most users don't know
what the GUI's doin, or even what backends it uses. If people
would learn to burn on the CL first, the GUI's would probly make
more sense to them. Specially when problems are encountered.
I don't agree "then it's really a hardware issue, and maybe an
issue with cdrecord" for the reason above, and because most all
problems are User > hardware > software/OS in that order.
'Course if a lot of people got thoroughly familiar with the
simplicity and ease of burnin on the CL.... they'd never go back
to usin a GUI as a crutch anyhow ;-)
