As some of us have pointed out already, gthumb does things neither
nautilus/eog nor f-spot does reasonably well. Before we ditch gthumb,
we'd need to adapt either (and probably eog) to actually handle those
use-cases.

After this discussion began, I tried using eog as a bulk image viewer
and sorter, but at this point it doesn't work well for that use. None of
the problems I've encountered are insurmountable - individually, they're
mostly small and probably easily fixed - but they do need to be adressed
before we throw away the tool that actually does work.
