I remember using it a year or so ago; it was god awful then.
Agreed; it is faster and more usable than previous versions but needs to be faster. My machine is not slow, but it still takes some time to display the contents of my home directory (and I have disabled everything that can have a performance impact.) What worries me is that the Nautilus developers seem to be adding more and more features (new views, multi-rooted tree sidebar, etc.) instead of focusing on performance. Nautilus still has a big memory footprint (although it's better than in previous versions.) If Nautilus were to keep the current feature set, but made faster and less memory-hungry, it would be _the_ file manager. But don't get me wrong, I am happy to use Nautilus as it is, and I am very thankful to the Nautilus (and Gnome) developers. The stuff keeps getting better and better. Cheers, Eloy.-
