Comment 80 for bug 14838

The Ubuntu spatial mode offers not a single advantage over browser mode, and
makes actual spatial usage extremely difficult. I'd go so far as to argue that
this change breaks the spatial metaphor; new windows position in _relation_ to
parent windows provides a lot of the context that makes spatial mode work. I
myself am a browser-mode user. As someone who switched away from spatial mode
because of the excessive window opening, I still find your ill-conceived spatial
mode hack to be even MORE difficult to use - it took the only advantage spatial
mode had and threw it out the window, while still not being as easy to browse
with as browser mode.

Mark, if you dislike spatial mode, why have your developers waste time
maintaining a patch that spatial users don't like and that browser users will
still shun in favor of real browser mode? Make the Ubuntu Nautilus default to
browser mode instead of breaking spatial mode.
