Comment 51 for bug 14838

I am against this change for a number clear-cut reasons

a) This was a last minute change, these kind of major usability changes at the
last minute are bad, at the very least this should be considered in breezy.
b) The current patch is incomplete and confusing, for example the backspace key
doesn't close behind, which is the reverse behavior.
c) This makes the ubuntu desktop differ from the GNOME desktop, which is bad.
d) There is no easy way to change back to the normal behavior

I propose that, if you are totally convinced you should have something like this
in the release (as MSW has said, having lots of windows is confusing, and i
agree on that point, as most normal users won't middle-click), that we should
switch to nautilus browser mode by default, because.
a) This is a standard GNOME option that people are aware of
b) It is clearly user-configurable
c) It is far less usably broken because, because
   a) it features a toolbar with back/up buttons
   b) It's interface is not inconsistent.

Please reconsider, browser mode is far more usable and less confusing, and would
appear to new users as some kind of "new feature" rather than something thats
broken and confusingly changed since last release.
