But that's what it is: backwards compatibility, not the default anymore.

Because that system actually makes sense, which is why Dolphin in KDE 4
supports this.
Dolphin also makes it easy to switch between Icons (browser mode with icons and
thumbnails), Details (browser mode with a list view showing file dates and
attributes) and Columns (what you call "multi-pane tree structure") modes
through a single click in the toolbar. In KDE 4.1, the traditional tree view
will also be available.

The reason we claim spatial mode is a step backwards is that both M$ and Apple
have used something very similar in the past and both moved away from it.
That said, I personally don't really care about what Nautilus defaults to, I
use KDE anyway. ;-)
