I really like this new default in Nautilus. If I want to type an address manually, I just press Ctrl+L. People who want breadcrumbs as default just call 'gconf-editor' and change the value for 'always_use_location_entry' in /apps/nautilus/preferences/ (see comment #2). I think this change in Nautilus makes it even easier for people who are new to computers. As they get more advanced, they will discover Ctrl+L listed under "'Go", but the usual user will be happy with the breadcrumps. Just my two pennies worth.
