That's a big exaggeration. I'm pretty confident that almost all apps
bundled into KDE and almost all apps bundled into GNOME would work fine
without udev. Few apps actually have reason to use that device-manager
stuff.

I think 'growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -r -J /path/to/files' is difficult to
beat. To make it graphical, run it in an xterm. ;->

It is.

My friend Rob Landley wrote the lot of that.
