The traditional File/Edit/View menu has been dropped from Nautilus and it's far from trivial to just add it back. And with about 75 items in the menus, Nautilus 3.4 isn't a particularly good UI or well-suited to Unity. As Dylan pointed out, a dozen apps have already switched to the new App Menu. So far only Epiphany & Nautilus use the gear menu but that's likely to be fairly popular too. Presumably, these new menus work better with touch screens. > So due to that reason it may make sense to switch to some other file > manager... even if its currently less maintained and spend a few resources > into improving that to a level that is competent enough for the next LTS.
