I agree.
The simplification process isn't so that we have featureless programs.
The simplification process is so that we have feature full programs that
are easy to use.

Personally I have no problem with typing mkisofs -o cd.iso *.mp3 &&
cdrecord -v speed=16 dev=0,0,0 -d cd.iso

Its not really complicated. But I would like a gui to be able to do it,
even though I "already know more than enough for that kind of thing."
