Strange. In my Nautilus Elementary, the buttons were on the status bar beside the zoom slider. But yes, I agree it wasn't cluttered. It looked pretty nice
actually.

It may have been that way for me by default, I can't remember. But I moved things around, and it was just nice to be able to actually do that.

You have the right to choose exactly how Nautilus will look and feel. As I said before, in another thread, you have 100% configurability if you really want it. Some users now have to click twice instead of once. That is true. But it is also true that a lot more people have gained a simpler and easier file manager. It is better to have a default interface that is clean and simple, with the ability to add buttons you like, than to start with a cluttered interface with the ability to remove.
