I bet you didn't even read the poll. I kept my personal opinion out of my poll question and my post. Neutral and fair descriptions are given to each of the modes. The illustrative screenshots are not biased: in fact, I deliberately didn't use a deeply nested directory to show that Spatial mode makes a mess with millions of windows! Although not all Fedora users are affiliated with Fedora Forum, a wide range, if not all of Fedora users are represented in FF. This is evident from the range of questions asked in the forum: ranging from "Linux newb *Fedora 10 install problem*" to problems with chkrootkit. I believe that Fedora Forum is the place to ask the question, and the answer will be representative of the wider Fedora community. (which favours change, 20 for and 1 against at the moment) And BTW, why hasn't any opponent to change addressed these good points? *That most new Fedora users migrated from Windows, which shows folders like a browser. To help them adjust, avoid confusion and therefore increasing the chance of them stay using Fedora, isn't it better to give them by default familiar interface and ways of doing things? *That spatial mode leaves behind tons of windows, inconvenient for users. And I know you can use Shift-Doubleclick or simply change it browser mode, but why on earth would most of Fedora users have to suffer this inconvenience simply because the powers that be happened to like it? *That the only supposed advantage is that it mimics real life, therefore more intuitive. Hell, it's annoying to open a packet within a packet within a packet on a real life desktop, where a pile of rubbish is left on it,so why repeat that in the virtual world? Here's a video that illustrates my point - I'm using it out of context, but nevertheless:http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1064947/rocketboom_earth_day_2007/.
