Personally I'm glad they keep things to a minimum. It seems like every
PC I've used for media mastering is a little odd.
In general, I've found k3b and nautilus to be coaster ovens. I don't
even bother anymore.
If you can, get yourself some CD-RW and file bugs. I don't see what
nautilus-cd-burner would be doing differently from xcdroast in terms of
burning.
For DVDs I use mkisofs and growisofs on the command line.
nautilus-cd-burner uses growisofs as well, and burns directly to DVD
with the latest versions. I'm not sure how n-c-b would work any
differently from growisofs on the command-line.
For CDs I use xcdroast.
