I have problems getting exited about either way of working, as both ways have merits and drawbacks.

What I find annoying is that the when I change the default view settings in the preferences dialog, I can't have different settings for browser view and spatial (folder) views. When I use Nautilus as a file browser, I like to look at the contents of my directories as a list. But I find looking at a folder in it's own window, an icon view seems more natural.

Is the problem that we have one tool for two dissimilar tasks ? And that's the reason for this discussion ?
