Take a look at xcdroast. It has a GUI and is simple to use for burning CDs
and DVDs.

If we are talking ease of use, the Nero suite wins hands down. Avg Joe
user wont have the time to build ISOs or look through the man pages for the
right options and utilize the very powerful features that may be present in
cdrecord.

Calling Nero "cumbersome" and "dumbed down" is simply wrong. It is one of
the easiest to learn burning tools, and if there were a Solaris version, I'd
much rather use it over terminal cdrecord, or the nautilus CD/DVD
burner(which currently makes up for the lack of a dedicated GUI).

There is a need for GUI, and Nero can well fill the gap.
