http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509508 is certainly waiting
for a patch that doesn't leak :)

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384540 has the libburn
request, without patch.

This is just as rhetoric as asking why develop a new application
instead of adding the few missing useful features to n-c-b.  

Useful features I noted :

 - Nickolay pointed multi-session support,
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332532

 - Gustavo pointed a "free space" indicator would be useful, I did not
   find a bug report with this enhancement request;

 - there is the audio cd capability, it would be nice if n-c-b asked
   "do you want to burn this as an audio cd" when all files were audio
   files.  (no bug report either).

Those can certainly be added without much UI changes, and I really
like how simple n-c-b UI is.

This is in contrast to brasero (sorry trunk failed to build for me so
I am commenting about 0.8.0 as shipped in Debian) which I had to use
maximized until I found the side panel could be removed, and still
takes more than twice the screen space of n-c-b when resized at its
minimal size.


Crossovering to Emmanuel Fleury request, there are certainly nice
things to do for students in n-c-b :)
