We're only talking about Nautilus - not Ubuntu.  IMO Nautilus is 
dreadful now.  I'm having to do things like the commandline 'find' to do 
stuff that used to be easily achieved from Nautilus.  I'm sure when I 
reported one of many Nautilus deficiencies as a bug, someone told me 
that this was the reason that an earlier branch form Nautilus had been 
put into 12.10 as a stopgap, and consideration was being given to the 
abolition of Nautilus in 13.04 if the Nautilus developers don't get it 
right!  It's not 'dumbing down' but rather due to sweeping changes in 
whatever widget library Nautilus is built from. (GTK - QT - DUNNO ....).
