Windows! And I felt a little at home since my old school days, working in
Unix around 1990 or so.

If something is going to be removed because it could confuse beginners,
then let there be an easily available ”control panel” or something with an
”Advanced” tab where the user can bring those features back by just ticking
some check-boxes and things like that. How hard can it be?

concern is: if I install the kde burner, doesn't that mean that I have to
load onto my computer a bunch of kde enviornment stuff as opposed to the
xfce that I am running now?, or even gnome?

Hi,

I use unity, and k3b by default, installing k3b brought in approx 10 other
packages but not kde itself! Some (from memory) were kde lib files but no
probs encountered and it just works!
I personally don't like brasero, not anything wrong with it, I just prefer
k3b!
Don't be afraid to install it, if you do it from the terminal, (sudo
apt-get install k3b) adding -s to the end will simulate installation, and
you van check what it brings in!
Hope this helps.

Pete s
