If CreateCD is a registered name we may be in for another trademark 
conflict. Other than that I can only agree:  CVS version of KreateCD looks 
a _lot_ better and more userfriendly (and if I hunt down all the required 
alpha versions of cdrecord, cdread etc. it may actually work for me).

KOnCD does not work for me, the error messages are cryptic for users and its 
developer does not react on bug reports at the moment. The user 
documentation is partly wrong (esp. in important areas like setting up SCSI 
emulation) and overall just as hard to understand as the program itself 
(http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-doc-english&m=101223484217184&w=2 ).

So, yes, I'd also say let's drop KOnCD and go for KreateCD.

Regards,

Thomas
