      This is not flamebait you motherfuckers. Nautilus IS fucking slow.

      And my comment in this discussion was deleted? I'll try to say it again:

      Nautilus is DUMB. Nautilus is SLOW.

      GNOME is getting dumber and dumber with every single release. GTK file chooser sucks and Nautilus also sucks. It does not have an address bar (CTRL-l is not a real address bar, you know, some people want to browse down the file system and then COPY the current path from the address bar. You can *not* do that in Nautilius....

      Grrrr, stupid Nautilus. A dumb tool for dumb people.

      Gnome Usability Team. My ass. Gnome moron usability team.
