next to his project or and "Add" button which is a lot handier than in nautilus
when he wants to pick files.  With NCB, once the CD creator window is open, it's
probably empty which means that the user will have to go somewhere else to pick
files and go back afterwards to the CD creator. It means going back and forth
between the source folder and the CD creator window. A new user can get confused
to be presented an empty selection without any clue to tell him how to fill it.
IMO I don't think this is really straightforward. 

If GtkFileChoooser is a better for handling files, including selecting them,
then we have a real problem with nautilus. The point of n-c-b is using nautilus
since it should be our best tool for handling files. 

I agree that showing an empty window isn't optimal, even with the cluebar. A
solution could be adding a simple shaded background "Drag files here", maybe
showing a disc as well.

My own speculation, is that those who prefer brasero over n-c-b, either doesn't
use nautilus, or uses it in browser mode (non spatial). 

PS: Please don't turn this into a +1/-1 contest.
