It's built in to the Finder.  Put a blank disk in and you'll get asked what
format you would like to make it.  Then it'll appear on the desktop and you
can drag files to it (or, I think, copy them from the command line).  That's
really a disk image you're editing, it doesn't get burnt until you eject
the disk.  It Works For Me, although I'll agree it ain't as flexible as
something like Toast or cdrecord.
