As far as Linux burning apps, xcdroast gets under my skin, the one I
use, and have had the "least" problems with is gnome-toaster.  It has a
very usable drag and drop interface, I think it also has a more user
friendly interface.  I use it for burning individual files, music cds,
and for ISO images.  But I do concur with the notion that there has yet
to be a GUI burner app in Linux that really is comfortable to use.
