Comment (by deejam):
Have you read the [http://interfacethis.com/pub/?p=14 About the Spatial
Debate…] article by David Feldman? It questions some of the statements
made by John Siracusa in his
[http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2003/04/finder.ars About the
Finder...] article, which is quoted as a source by
[http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/spatial-nautilus.html The Spatial Way].
It also quotes a study made by Microsoft that made the conclusion that
''All but the most advanced users did not understand how to manage
overlapping windows efficiently''. The main reason users give for not
using spatial file navigation is the many windows clutters the workspace.
I'm in favor of a hybrid solution. For example, I like the spatial way of
limiting the file manager to one window per folder (per Workspace).
I've tried to find information on why the GNOME project decided to abandon
spatial as the default mode in Nautilus. Any help with that would be
appreciated.
