New window behavior as opposed to tab or pane setups is retrograde evolution.
How about some user demand for flexibility of choice? The "open in a broswer window" is not acceptable. I want the *folder* to open *in the same window*, not in a browswer window. How about some user demand for the GNOME developers to stop screwing with fundamental user interface design every single release? I used to be of the opinion that GNOME was "the one" -- both technically superior to KDE (it is) and philosophically superior (now I'm doubtful). GNOME is rapidly losing my respect as it's become less and less easy to use (ironically) because I can't make it do anything other than what's in The Vision(tm) of whomever is making these design decisions. Linus is probably right, I should switch to KDE. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford. I trust the Republicans to take away my freedom, which I cannot."
