I haven't seen it, but if we're talking about using the location bar in
nautilus instead of those buttons then yes, it's an improvement. I think
it also helps less tech savvy users understand how paths are written -
that's still a mystery for many windows users.

What I hope it does, or does next, is that you can click on the
directory names to open them, but if you double click _after_ the end of
the path you get it selected as plain text and can then copy it.
