I totally agree with using as few programs as possible.
I have only
CloneCd and
Nero installed om my primary system. Whenever I need another program I go to another system.
As far as I know CloneCD will soon be the easiest progam to use: just insert the CD and press copy! Olli is working on it. That's why he was a little behind on the new protections. The only thing missing is direct bin/cue support (but you can mount it in the virtual drive and burn it like that). I hate having to fiddle around with different settings to make a working copy.
I like Alcohol as well, but found it a bit less user friendly. In the end I don't care which program does it, as long as it get's done.
