This stylish open source USB Image Writer tool looks really nice. 
Supports Windows and Mac too!
Please test the tool the next time you need to write an image to a USB drive. Report back here to see how well it works on a variety of systems and platforms.
This could be the recommended tool then what we have already for new users?
Hallo
UM 15.10
Downloaded the AppImage (71.3 MB).
Set permissions to “allow executing file as program”.
Upon double-clicking “please run this application as root or administrator”.
I tried that too.
Still nothing happens.
End of test.
Conclusion:
Something went wrong… 
OK - I figured it out…
Open a terminal and start caja with sudo i.e.
[sudo caja]
enter your sudo password and wait a moment for caja to open.
Navigate to the AppImage file and double-click on it - and it runs! 
Small question here:
Does it do anything that Startup Disk Creator doesn’t?
SDC has been gutted of features in 16.04 (you can no longer create a persisting filesystem) but at least it’s back to actually working.
This tool is not advertising any feature beside “dd + sync” && looking pretty.
Edit: oh, and working on Windows, I guess there’s that.
While it’s pretty I’m not sure requiring node.js is a good idea. This could easily be written in Python and not require the node infrastructure.
So from initial impressions, maybe not a good choice for Linux? 
I noticed the same @alpinejohn, I would of had liked it to prompt with the password prompt (gksudo). It’s binary distribution and 40-odd file size is a bit of a turn-off I think.
@ouroumov, to me it looks like you answered your own question.
I think the tool might be better recommended for Windows and Mac users looking to try Ubuntu MATE?
@ramblinman41, I guess it’s the argument of being based on web technologies then something more “native” like GTK or Qt. … even though it’s got the same functionality and nicer to look at… just many more bytes then say a 72.6 kB tool like dd. 
There’s no reason you can’t have a Pretty GUI with Gtk3 and python which are already installed. I’ll give it some thought.
I tested Etcher at work, the install and launching is clunky because it uses AppImage, so it doesn’t really integrate with Ubuntu MATE. I do agree this is a good option for documenting a single common solution for Windows and Mac OSX users though.
Tried this on Windows…
Windows 7: Didn’t work. Blank window.
Windows XP SP3: Not compatible! 
So, no changes to make since it’s not really a tool that works well on all operating systems.
Can this tool actually provide a caspter-rw partition that can be used?
Fedora has a nice tool at https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
Couldn’t it be rebranded?
Aren’t there quite a few single ISO to USB tools out there?
How many Multiple ISO > USB Cross Platform tools exist?
Honestly, I keep using Mutilsystem. One of the first things that I install since it allows for multiple ISO’s.
But, MultiSystem is Linux only if someone is a platform slider, (seems I’m becoming one) it’s not a good choice.
In the windows world, I use Yumi, but again, it’s only good on Windows machines.
