If we are talking ease of use, the Nero suite wins hands down. Avg Joe user
wont have the time to build ISOs or look through the man pages for the
right
options and utilize the very powerful features that may be present in
cdrecord.
Calling Nero "cumbersome" and "dumbed down" is simply wrong. It is one of
the easiest to learn burning tools, and if there were a Solaris version,
I'd
much rather use it over terminal cdrecord, or the nautilus CD/DVD
burner(which currently makes up for the lack of a dedicated GUI).
I just wonder how useful a GUI is going to be when you're going over ttya.
I find Nero nearly useless. It's a *consumer grade* toy for plants. Be that
as it may, we will just have to agree to disagree.
There is a need for GUI, and Nero can well fill the gap.
Nero does not need to "fill the gap", because there is no gap. You have
Xcdroast which is a GUI front end for cdrtools (which I also find cumbersome
and counter-intuitive, but it's no worse than Nero). If you don't like that,
there's also `gcombust` GUI front end for cdrecord, and it strikes a pretty
good balance between being useful enough and making `cdrecord` and `mkisofs`
easy to use.
