I liked spatial on the Mac for the way it put windows for certain folders in predictable places. That way muscle memory could direct you to the proper place to go. I seldom have or had multiple windows open. Instead, I Shift-double click to close the previous window when opening a new one. Except when I need to have two windows open for copying or moving. The speed of spatial vs browser was one of the early selling points. When I open a folder, I want to see the folder ASAP. I don't know if that has remained an issue or if it's evened out, though. Screen real estate is precious and I don't use most of the buttons on the browser view. Home, reload, up, computer, search, the places menu on the left... all extraneous. All this said, I don't use nautilus as a file manager very often. Unlike MacOS and Windows where the GUI is the only optimized file manager, the shell in *NIX is very friendly for file manipulation so I tend to use it almost exclusively. -Toshio
