GNOME Question: Why sudden change from breadcrumbs?

[Joel Bryan Juliano]

I first thought that the location bar would be permanent, just like
browser_mode to spatial, then soon vice-versa. I soon find out that the user
can turn "breadcrumbs/location bar" mode by pressing the "text editor" icon
on the leftmost corner.. breadcrumbs mode is still the "default" when
launching nautilus. but, wait a minute, "text editor" icon related to
turn-on/off that feature?

Anyways, people will be happier in the next version, because, GNOME feels
very responsive, icons in the menus appear instantanously, and
OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 loads 50% much faster than before, and you'll get a
funky usplash theme that reminds me of the props used in new wave MTV's
during the 80's and early 90's. I tried Edgy btw to test this out, GARNOME
is still compiling as I speak.
