Believe me that I completely agree with you :). I’m always trying to get stable 
and better tools. 
What are the problems that you have? Because I work daily with Nautilus.

Now you should realise that Ben did Nautilus because he was fed up with the old 
browser and he was a third and four year student.
Then he built nautilus so that we can remove the really old code StringHolder 
and subclasses from the system.
Then from this experience we saw that building tools did not scale so this is 
why we worked on Spec.
And now Spec went from version 1 to version 2 and now we will be able to 
rewrite Nautilus again. 

Now to complete the story: we worked one year to clean and make a solid version 
of package but protocols were so deep into 
the system that we had to fix Nautilus and esteban rewrote a part in a hurry. 
But again Esteban is not payed for 
that and some of the glitches we will be fixed when we find them and fix them.
