Ooooh yes it does (panto voice)...  You don't get a say in the naming of
some things, not every file is one that you've created yourself.  Even
when you do have control, you may not want to similarly name two (or
more) files that *may* get used together in something else.

It has little more than browsing features (drag and drop, copy and
paste).  If you want to actually manage things, you've got to add in
features all over the place, and put up with the awful un-user-friendly
right-click menu/properties technique, or resort to using another
program, as well.  Nautilus is not quick, nor does it make it easy to do
many file managing tasks (rename, chmod, chown, pattern select, etc.).
