I mean,

1) I had to read a FAQ to figure out I couldn't just drill down to the dir
where I wanted to find an iso and have that found there for just this one
iso. No, I had to assign a dir as part of the regular list of dirs to look
for isos and other track files and then I could choose it from a list when
I got to a different screen.

2) The buttons down the left side are for choosing forms. They do not do
those things immediately. Why use so much space for those buttons?

3) You can use the left column button "Write Tracks" to go to
that form. Then within it there is the "Layout tracks" tab that
you use first. Then you go to the "Write tracks" tab. Once there
you see a few options "Write tracks", "Fixate CD-R/RW
only" and "Blank CD/DVD+-RW"

Does Fixate do what? It makes you fixate on a CD?

Does Blank make a CD blank? Or overwrite when CDs can be written more than
once? Or what?
