"That's simply false. Sure, there are some gotchas, but it largely works
modulo this bug report. You're not answering the question I asked."

Well, there are shades of grey between white and black. Sure, there are
several cases, where it works well to use the Startup Disk Creator ;-)

I will try to answer your questions, but it will take some time (to test
what works and what does not work in and between the currently supported
versions of Ubuntu). Let us hope that the SDC is much better now than we
think at the Ubuntu Forums :-)

"Architecture matching is unfortunately an unavoidable issue."

Yes, for the SDC.

But it does not create any problems at all for tools which use cloning
with dd or cp under the hood (like mkusb and Disks). And I think the
other tools in our poll can manage this issue. At least Unetbootin from
the developer's PPA can manage it, and I recently added 'making
persistent live drives' to mkusb, and I have tested that it works for
all the current Ubuntu versions, flavours and also several re-spins
based on Ubuntu.
