Overall I have to agree that cdrw wins on ease of use with "cdrw -i file". But the good news may be that almost the only issue with cdrecord is the need to specify dev=a,b,c. And to use -scanbus before this to find the device.
I too hate to jump in to the detailed discussion, but I agree as well. Like Darren and Hugh, I know cdrecord is more powerful, but my most common need is getting the .iso image (which my brain can easily associate with -i ) to the disc.
Here in the El Segundo office, the service guys have wrappered cdrecord with a script to avoid the scanbus and device stuff on a shared system for writing discs. Despite that, I still use cdrw, because it works and I'm so lazy I don't even bother to hunt down the shell script.
Again, it's great software, but could be even better by addressing the simple use cases on the cli and in the manpage up front.
