"k3b is one of the most important applications for many Linux users. The immensely popular and fully-featured CD/DVD writing application has been a mainstay of the standard Linux desktop since its early releases. Since last year, Sebastian Trüg, the initial author and present lead developer of k3b, has been employed by Mandriva both to work on k3b and to work on the Nepomuk desktop project. We asked Sebastian a few questions about k3b, Mandriva and Nepomuk."

yeah, never had serious trouble with K3B either. It mostly managed to impress me, actually. Lately, for example, i plugged in a usb cd burner, expecting to do some configuration, etcetera - but it just popped up in k3b, and the 'burn' button turned from gray to color, and it just worked. Great job, imho...

Umm, I've been using Linux on and off since 1997...probably longer than you. I used Linux as my sole desktop from 2002-2006, only switching back to Windows XP for Photoshop CS2 (and yes, I hate using Photoshop).
During my time of using K3B, I never had a single showstopper issue, it's worked fine for a long, long time.
I think you'll see Photoshop come to Linux within the next 3-5 years, it's only a matter of time. As to $20, why would I pay that, when I can use K3B for free (both price and freedom)?
Nero is just dreadful with its UI, one of the very worst applications I've seen in a long, long, long time. And I'm being very polite here.
As to GTK/GTK2, I find GTK based applications ugly. I much prefer QT.
