check attached screenshot..

is anybody thinking what i am thinking?
check the screenshot, read the Subject, then my thoughts..

if telepathy, empathy or phantasy are not your strong areas, here a little
insight:

imagine these features in nautilus, concerning this screenshot:

* delete application from /usr/share/applications to do "apt-get remove
[package]"
* drag a package name or apt-url into this folder to do "apt:[package]"
* show details about software application in side pane (version, homepage,
report a problem etc)

just a few out of countless thoughts that arise from just looking at this
screenshot

communicating via icons is powerful, especially when it comes to actions and
utilities.
Removing icons from menus makes navigation slower as a whole. Hand-Eye
Coordination works better with symbols, text is nothing but *a lot* of
symbols, so do the math..

thoughts?
