Well, to be honest whilst the new Nautilus does fix the horrible chopped
down toolbar, which was causing all kinds of issues with most of the themes
(light-themes included) and the back and forward are where they should be -
on the left it causes two problems:
A) It has no menubar, but rather a super menu gear button on the right,
hence no HUD support
B) Tree view and extra pane have been removed
Marlin is no way near stable and can't even draw the desktop (which is
essential for Unity), so at its current state it can't be considered an
alternative, so the simplest solutions I see are:
A) Patch Nautilus to have his HUD support back
B) Help Marlin dev(s) to improve Marlin (stability and drawing the desktop)
Surely there can be a new file manager built from scratch, but then again
that ain't that simple, is it? :)
