Opinions vary on this. Miguel for instance claims that we're forever lost 
if we don't make Nautilus a great browser, since all Windows users are 
used to this and demand it.

Personally I think that while we should not remove the possibility for 
Nautilus to view content of all types (including html) inline, we should 
concentrate on making Nautilus a good file manager. Managing files may 
include looking at html files, but it does not include full featured 
browsing.

Darin, what is your opinion on this?
