I've used both k3b and nero, and nero on linux is playing catch up at the moment. CD mounting/automounting seems to be one limiting factor. The feature set of nero at 2.0 doesn't come close to k3b yet.
Nero can really advance passed k3b if they got their CD/DVD mounting properly worked out and also included file conversion on the fly. This is k3b's current weakness, and on linux, it's also Nero's. If they were to get this included(convert a avi to svcd,etc) then Nero would have a point in being.
Also, the caveat of having to purchase the windows version to get the linux version is slightly irritating to say the least. They also have DRM licensing included for some reason, even though it doesn't interact with anything DRM at the moment. There are some things that Ahead software needs to work on, but they have a possibility of being worth the money if they can correct and enhance their feature set to match the windows version. Good first attempt though by the Ahead team. Just not quite there yet.
