Worrying nautilus development direction, New default file manager?

 

Gnome has started tearing out nautilus features left and right during gnome
3.6 development:

and making some very questionable design decisions, such as this incredibly
ugly and pointless name shortening that makes the breadcrumb impossible to

I think its looking like ubuntu should start looking into a new default
file manager, since gnome seems intent on tearing nautilus apart, something
like marlin (https://launchpad.net/marlin) looks like it has potential.

Thoughts?
