as i am using nautilus in its default setup and want to actually manage
(in oppsition to browse) my files with the filemanager it is annoying to
have a extra folder on my desktop that i would have to open and
drag/drop my files from there to other folders. and i guess most of the
people out there will use nautilus in its default way (and be it just
because of not knowing the difference).....

nope, not if your native language doesnt contain the word downloads and
