Just talked to Ori on IRC concerning certain ROX features, and why not to include them. I think it's important to remember that Thunar is not ROX and we have completely different goals. There's no need to emulate ROX, as people that want to use ROX will happily use ROX. We don't need another "RiscOS on UniX", instead our goal is to be easy to use and consistent with other modern Unix/Linux desktop apps.
You may think that I'm too restrictive with feature adoptions - and that's what I am, yes - but it seems to be the only way to ensure that we don't go into the wrong direction currently, IMHO. We have defined a good set of basic features 3 months ago and there was a lot of discussion to find the right way(TM). Now it's time to get something running with that feature set. The plugin system will enable a wide range of UI controls that behave differently, but for the beginning, we need to get the core running, which implements the basic feature set we agreed on and everybody is expecting from Thunar 1.0.
