You all do realize that all this controversy could be avoided simply by
placing an obvious way to change between the two modes. That way, those
who like spatial mode can use it and those who like browser mode could
use it. Isn't choice one of the things we all like about Linux? Why are
the developers trying to dictate the way we *should* use it?
