It might be worth the time to learn to use the command line tools, then 
you would know what the tools are really doing. I've been bitten by GUI 
tools which don't actually *do* anything, but call the command line 
tools to do it for them. And if something changes under them, you don't 
even get a warning, just a coaster.

Then you get distributions which trick you and put bogus programs of 
their own devicing installed with the names of working programs. The 
most common case is a bogus 'cdrecord' which is actually something 
called 'worful' or maybe 'woodn' or something like that. Best program 
for making BD-coasters ever, but for saving data not so much.
