Out of curiosity, have those users tried GnomeBaker? Maybe Brassero also?
Which advantages have K3b over those? (beside support for mp3, which is 
not enabled in Fedora anyway)

Not if Gnome have a comparable native alternative.

Well, on my desktop K3b look alien (I can tell from a mile it use 
another set of widgets) and is very slow to start. Its Open/Save dialogs 
look strange and do not include the bookmarks available in all other 
applications, the order of "OK"/"Cancel" buttons in dialogs is weird, 
the menu structure is bad (instead of Edit > Preferences it have 
Settings). I could go with this more and more.
