not at all - the goal of PcManFm is doing all the basics Nautilus can
do, more efficiently, taking less disk and ram room, and running
faster - and as far, it's hitting this goal! =) - anyway, directory
bookmarks always exists, and running nautilus scripts seems to be not
much more than choosing and executing simple scripts from a menu
considering its directory pointer on the selected tab, and i don't
think it would make PcManFm that heavier... - what i think will happen
is the reverse way, would be Nautilus copying their efficience from
the PcManFm, and would be awesome seeing this! ;) - who knows soon
will Gnome deprecate Nautilus prior to PcManFm? ;)

with a huge and simple difference: nm-applets works, and lxnm
doesn't... - and it were a huge headache on guys like me, which loves
to use all kind of existing window managers (for example,i have
installed Gnome, LXDE, PekWM, JWM, Fluxbox, etc., i love them all, use
them all (and need to), and i am helping the development of them
all...)
