It's more like moving the accelerator pedal back up as a handle instead.

macintosh GUI was OK Posted Apr 9, 2004 22:25 UTC (Fri) by anon (guest, #20786) [Link] Actually, moving to "new window for every directory" is a step back towards the original Mac Finder, and away from modern browsers.

I personally think the Mac got the file management aspect correct, and "progress" since then has been towards harder-to-use gui's. People are better at quickly picking things out based on location, color, size, than by a complex file name. However, if you're used to one or the other, it will be easier to use the one you're used to. I think that having both browser and file manager interfaces on Nautilus is a good design decision.
