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.

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).

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.

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?!
