“Nautilus was one of the best file browsers around. We’re saying “was” because we’re unanimous on the fact that Caja is a far superior browser than Nautilus.”

Thursday, September 06, 2012:
Clement Lefebvre aka Clem, founder and lead developer of Cinnamon and Linux Mint called the version 3.6 of Nautilus 'a catastrophe' as it "removes features we consider requirements” while his team was working on Nemo- the new file browser of Cinnamon. Nemo is a complete fork of Nautilus 3.4 and its goal is to extend the Cinnamon user experience to desktop and file management.

“Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe. It removes features we consider requirements. We welcomed the news that Canonical decided to stick to Nautilus 3.4, but it came too late (we were already experimenting with Nemo) and it only temporarily solved the problem for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. If we want to give ourselves the ability to implement our goals and to give people a great user experience, we need to broaden the scope of Cinnamon to all visible components of the desktops, file and desktop management being extremely centra,” said Clem in his blog post.
“Nautilus was one of the best file browsers around. We’re saying “was” because we’re unanimous on the fact that Caja is a far superior browser than Nautilus. The trend continues with Nautilus 3.6 being, in our opinion, a lesser product than Nautilus 3.4. Many times, the question was risen as to whether or not Nautilus was the best file browser for Cinnamon. Why not use Caja instead (or Marlin, another really successful project)? And the answer is “integration”. Caja is developed by and for MATE, Nautilus is developed by and for GNOME, and under Cinnamon there’s a GNOME desktop. The file manager isn’t just a file browser, it defines how the user interacts with filesystems, documents, and the visible desktop. It’s a core part of any desktop and it’s important it properly integrates with it,” Clem further added in his posting.
