This statement might have been true before Nero 7 came out. Nero 7 is actually more bloated and slower than Roxio Easy Media Creator 9.
I tried Easy media Creator 9 and I have concluded that :
- Its much more stable then Nero Burning ROM + Nero Vision
- Has a much better UI (you can see actual write speeds without registry hacks)
- Shows available disk space in the status bar when adding to a compilation. (Nero never had this feature)
- Has a complete suite of products that actually work!
Roxio was not a good product till v 8. But with v 9 they give nero a run for its money. Try it out if you haven’t already.
Edit: nero burning rom in itself might be good without the bloat, but I am referring tot he complete suite.
