Well, CD writing works well using Nautilus CD Creation mode - but
AFAIK this is only for data cds.  

K3b is a nice tool for putting together Audio CD's and DVD's as well
as data CDs.  It's also much closer to the sort of "user friendly"
apps you'd see on other platforms.

The Nautilus CD burner is quite similar to Mac OS X's  approach for
data CDs - that is drag your files into a "special folder" that
appears when you pop the blank CD in the drive and then select "Burn"
from a menu.  When I first used Mac OS X it took me ages to work this
out.
