Yes, on big displays, with very few windows open. No, on small displays or when having many windows open and when using virtual screen Background: * On my "big desktop" with the "big display", I find spatial mode nice. Unless excessively opening windows, windows are being place nicely. * On my netbook, I find "spatial mode" to be "unusable". Stacks of windows are the norm, wading through them is a nuissance. Drag'n'Drop is hardly applicable => browser mode. > the question now does people drag and drop more than they browse [open > folder to see them] ? When observing myself: First browsing, then "opening" is the overwhelming use-case. Drag and Drop is much seldom use-case.
