I would agree with you if I had a reason to constantly fit them nicely 
side by side, but I don't. :-)

Ofcourse, in case of emergency, you could create a 2-line script to run 
Nautilus twice with a fixed size and position, and put the script in your 
menus instead of nautilus itself. Something like this:

nautilus --no-desktop --geometry=640x700+0+0 &
nautilus --no-desktop --geometry=640x700+640+0

And because the split-screen isn't fixed, you can do the same for three, 
four, or twenty windows if you want to.
