I consider myself an experienced user and I still use single-click and
would prefer it to be default, it's  easier when using a laptop touchpad
for one thing. I've noticed inexperienced users often either double
clicking everything in sight - including the web or random clicking.

The reason why we have double click by default, is apparently because
inexperienced users apparently have trouble managing files (moving and
deleting etc) in single click mode, often opening them when meaning to
select them.

Once nautilus is in single click mode, the only double click items are
the open/save dialogues and the odd thing such as playing a selected
music track in rhythmbox. The open/save dialogue annoys me greatly when
I have to use it.
