Even stronger, Nautilus is _intrinsic_ to Gnome. 

So, if you miss out one, you miss out the other, and anyone trying to 
issue a KDE-only distribution would doubtless be shot down by the 
'more choice' brigade ;)

I never really see what the terrible objections to Nautilus are; it's 
a perfectly acceptable file manager which is slickly presented. And, 
say what you like about Microsoft, it's got that very important 
aspect of computing done and dusted: one of the biggest barriers to 
the man on the Clapham omnibus* accepting Linux is that most GUI 
applications are anything but slick ...
