I have mixed views on the interface as it stands now: it seems to lack some of the "snap" that's needed in a file manager.

Yeah--I noticed a bunch of redraw bugs, most of which appeared to be connected to the canvas's block-by-block update handling. Nautilus' asynchronous updating gets awkward on big directories, too.

But given who works for Eazel, I suspect they know all about these issues.

I tend to apply very different standards to 0.1 and 1.0 software. Nautilus is promising, but not ready for prime time.

Cheers,
Eric
