cdrecord worked great for me. I used it with Plextor SCSI devices. ATAPI sucked in Linux.
As for the syntax, give me a break. I wrote a simple shell script called 'mkcd'. Amazing, eh?
The point of the cdrecord author is extremely valid. He doesn't want to change his code when the Linux kernel guys decide to change the interface, etc. He wants a standard API. That API is SCSI. He wants someone else to deal with all the device BS and simplify it as SCSI. Linus, it seems, wants him to deal with the device issues or for someone to write a nice ide-scsi.

Okay.. So what tool then?

So what is the preferred burning tool now?
