I agree : there is no /need/ for "up" button, in just
same way that there is no need for more than one
programming language, so long as that language is
Turing-complete. But for most of us, we each have
a preferred language, which will almost certainly
vary with the task in hand), and few of us (if any)
would be happy if there /were/ just one Turing-complete
language that we had to use for everything.
In just the same way, those of us who have used Windows
since its inception (I personally go back to Windows 2,
but there was really nothing worthwhile before XP)
have grown accustomed to both an "up" button and
to an address bar with copyable text. To arbitrarily
remove them, and to provide instead "breadcrumbs",
just verges on insanity. No, correction : it doesn't
/verge/ on insanity, it is certifiable insanity, and
those responsible should be sectioned and kept away
from society until they can demonstrate that they
have seen the error of their ways ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you : I knew of
shift-right-click on a filename + "copy as path",
but that gives a path than ends with a filename;
why I need in 98,5% of cases is just the path,
so your "right-click in the address bar + copy
address {as text}" has probably saved me years
of heartache.
