I’m sure you’ve all heard it before – Creative is the iPod killer. Opera is the Firefox killer. Here’s a new one: the k3b killer.
Seriously, who cares. Why are people so determined to kill wonderful products? They should spend more effort making crap products better (and I’m not talking about imitations), not playing down the already stunning ones.

Please not that neither the author of the software, neither anybody else called it “k3b killer”… except for myself.
It’s just I know many people desiring to use K3b under a GNOME distro, and it’s a little to much, when they have GNOME-based CD/DVD burners.
And I thought that for those who would like to see in a GNOME program SOMEPART_ of the GUI and of the functionality they liked in K3b, then Bonfire is a good start.
It’s a one-man show, by a French, I guess.
Why are you so aggresive?!
That’s cool, I don’t have a problem with making software better. Gnome users should have all the same availability as KDE users. Just why call it a k3b killer?
Oh, k3b is also a one man show.
The term ‘k3b killer’ is a bit weird – why would you want to kill k3b? I guess that’s quite agressive, now, is it?
anyway, I think he points at duplicating great work instead of contribution.
rewriting it in a worse toolkit. yeah, makes sense (not).
For as much as I like k3b (according to my log I started using it on September 20, 2003, release 0.9, 40 days after my complete switch to linux), I’ll rejoice when I’ll found a GTK/GNOME program giving me all of k3b’s features. I’m eager to finally remove qt and kdelibs from my machine.
