The funny thing is people really don't realize this very often.
Everything is simply a front-end to these things. Everyone always states that "k3b is the best burning software for Linux!" when it technically doesn't do any of the actual burning. It's just a GUI laid on top of the same program that all the other GUIs use to burn under Unix operating systems.
The only difference between k3b and the various GTK front-ends are the options that are visually laid out. Which is appropriate considering the difference in the desktop philosophies (Gnome trying to be more simplistic and easy to use and KDE being the "let's show every conceivable option we can think of" desktop. Both have their places, but one application looks very out of place in the other set up.)

There _is_ a dedicated burning application. It's called cdrecord/cdrkit. Every single on of the apps mentioned here use that. (Discounting experiments like libburn and co.)
Kinda like how you only have a single kernel no matter the distro. (Again, discounting experiments like Gentoo/FreeBSD.)
