I didn't know praat, it is indeed targeting a scientific audience.

Transcriber has a few issues, I understand the last upstream version is 
from 2005 and it doesn't work well with pulseaudio (for me it plays only 
noise).

I found another simple program called gtranscribe, without a waveform. 
Generally speaking I think there is a lack of good transcription 
utilities that are not intended for phonetic/scientific work.
