I use dd and imagewriter regularly for several distros. I'm definitely a cli guy but I really like imagewriter.

However, more often than not, all I download before an installation is linux and initrd (the NET installation versions), which I have Grub load (from custom.cfg) when I want to begin an installation. This way I'm only downloading what's actually going to be installed, and not messing with stick or OM writing.
