I appreciate that you had posted your testing result and your above views. There are issues installing caja in an unsquashed iso so it is really tweaky kind of stuff to get it right. If not later tonight then I hope by Friday I’ll have something more workable available.
Well this is true in many respects but we want to keep ubuntu-unity themes and apps working to some degree, that renders unity distinctly unity. We don’t want it to be an assimilated project that is leaning to heavily on other flavors. Of course all the other major shells have something to offer, something to pull in as possible defaults and I like your reasoning on the topic.
As a programmer I was taught that programming efficiency is tantamount. Small, fast little modules and loops. This is what is happening to nautilus to a degree. What some may see as nautilus getting the brush-cut, others see as trimming UI eyecandy and other features that some consider wishlist. This makes for faster, more efficient desktop but there is a price to pay in that some user_space intuitive navigation suffers. So the trick is to find a balance betwix the two. Hopefully we will.
