Bad if you want to burn CD-Rs or re-format floppy disks. I'll never remember the correct path to the raw device. Had several hangs playing audio CDs, too. There are some mixed mode CDs on my shelf, first track is a data track (eg ISO image with some software) padded with audio tracks to have fun after install :-)
