Quick Linux rant. WTF is up with Nautilus?!?
Linux systems are often touted as rock solid, far more stable than their Windows counter parts. In server application a reasonable case can be made for this. For Desktop GUI, however, it seems to be mostly wishful thinking.
I currently use Ubuntu. It is the absolutely most user friendly free OS I've used yet. It is focused and stable in almost all respects. It chooses one version of software for each task, one desktop, browser, word processor, etc. No developer drek, developers know how to manually mess with their systems.
The desktop is Gnome, which I've grown to like. The heart of Gnome is Nautilus, a file manager and sort of resource browser jack of all trades. Nautilus is a beaten dog with a bladder control problem.
Nautilus is the single most bug ridden piece of software I've used in a Linux graphics environment. If my system is acting odd, it's Nautilus. If processes start hogging cpu cycles, it's Nautilus.
Does anyone remove Nautilus from Gnome? In favor of what? Really, I want to know.

Nautilus didn't exist back when I was in a Windows-free environment. Even back then, I'd rip out the default Window managers and put in something lightweight. I, too, got fed up with the distributions that figured they could freely install five or six apps to do the same thing and did so.
