A few words on the changed focus of Nautilus (and/or a link to the
discussion on nautilus-list) would be interesting.

[ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2009-Decembe... ] Should cover your desires then?

Basically, since Gnome-shell takes over the "desktop", Nautilus will once more split out the device management daemon into it's own, and since Nautilus will no longer be the main "discover files" of spatialus, but rather a "pure" and "advanced" file manager, Split view and main browser mode will be the defaults

and [ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2009-Decembe... ] for the release announcement, with the followup linking to [ http://www.gnome.org/~alexl/nautilus-2-29-1.png ] as a screenshot (somewhat cluttered) showing the new features.

Interesting. It starts to look more like Dolphin every day, however having
tabs on the bottom... brrrr... It IS interesting to see they took a very
different approach to the tabs, as they seem separate for each half of the
split screen. Not sure what works better in real life.
