Comments by "David Lindes" (@DavidLindes) on "Clonezilla: disk cloning, but it's easier than dd" video.
[At some risk of sounding like one of the "what does this do over dd?" bros; hopefully I won't by the end...] While at least most of my current needs are something where I am happy to use the familiar-to-me dd to get things done, I'm grateful to you for creating this, so that I (and others!) can know about other options that are out there, that may fit others' needs and/or my own future needs (some even anticipated currently!) better. Thanks!

@dingokidneys well, most of my uses for dd have nothing to do with a dying drive... and typing a command when I know its options/argument structure/whatever is a whole lot quicker than navigating a set of menus, even if I know them, too. If I have to start looking up options, then that changes things, of course... but you'll also note that I was giving emphasis to my use cases, and at the current time, so... yeah. Different problems, different tools. I'm glad to add this tool to my to-try list.
