Is this "Click and burn?" How is that better than opening Toast, dropping the file(s) on it and hitting Record (command-R)? Seems like about 7 extra steps... If you know a more efficient way, I'll be happy to hear it. I'm really not being argumentative, just curious...
Well, in your counting of steps, you're counting inserting the disk for one method but not the other ;-)
Seriously, if you read through the steps, it's much the same: insert a blank, drag some files to the icon, click and wait.
As for disabling eye candy, I never know what people are talking about: I have used OS X since the public beta and have never seen any blinking lights or flashing icons. One thing I do to eliminate waste is shutdown the Finder: it takes a lot cycles to do nothing, so I use TinkerTool to add a Quit option to it's menu and use it.
I don't know what to tell you about being afraid of the terminal: it's hard to mess things up unless you are careless enough to dink around while logged in as the superuser. The unix core is what got me interested in the Mac again, after some time in the pure UNIX world.
