Spatial or not spatial Nautilus ?
I tried the spatial mode of nautilus since the release of FC2, and I went back to the brower mode, and stick with it because I prefer it.
So that's just a poll to see if people prefer the spatial mode or not...

what is all the hoopla about...spatial? what exactly does that mean...too many windows open
maybe I am a old fogey...but i like dual pane file manager (Midnight Commander)..in windows I have used Norton Commander and its clones...it just makes sense ...how many times to you need more than 2 windows?
I like Konqueror's "Midnight Commander" profile...in terminal I use mc

Spatial is fantastic. I love the simplicity of it, and yes it does make better sense to novices.

I love spatial. It really makes sense too me. I don't have to know the location of my files, they are just there. It's great. Besides, I drag & drop a lot, so I need windows open. Drag & drop is great. (Try to drag & drop a html file to from nautilus to your browser, or a .ogg file to rhythmbox. It just works. Great!

Gah! Too many windows open!
I turned spatial off. It was tricky: ran gconf-editor, and changed /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser to true (I think, it was a while ago.)
Hooray for Midnight Commander!

One of my biggest peeves is that people don't know where their files are....and I find that for me a dual pane setup is the best...file from one side move it to the other (and you will always know where it is)... 
When is Norton Commander for linux coming out??? 
I'm with you JMAN, MC is the best....

Spartial nautilus is great. If you do not like too much windows open, switch to another desktop

Love it. If too many open windows is a bother for you, simply use the middle (wheel) button and that will open only one folder. Neat!

I wasn't a big fan of nautilus before the multi-window change. Now I have to say that
I like it less than before. I don't mind them switching, but I think that they should make
it easier for newbies to change the setting. Editing cryptic config files just to get
legacy behavior was a bigger mistake (in my opinion) than the change itself.
