Are you sure? Many basic and long standing nautilus features was removed in the last weeks. I wonder what people inside and outside GNOME will say when they will see, for example, those changes: http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=ef467c8775392d0f0feb0e38f7a80f2d41719d84 http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=b8d5b4a7bcf47ed34a6343c95bcc3b079255c0a0 http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=331860440c50a979bcbeafa401d48490c758db5a IMHO cheering the new streamlined nautilus _after_ all unwanted feature will be removed is not a smart marketing strategy. I fear you can't simply say "the new nautilus is great, our developers did a great works" and hope nobody (community members, users, bloggers, journalists and so on) will complain. Moreover as a GNOME community member I would prefer to know the reasons of major changes happening in GNOME (I repeat, major: and if you sum up all small removal happened in nautilus you'll have a huge change between 3.4 and 3.6) for a simple and trivial reasons: when people know I'm a GNOME member, then ask me "why GNOME did this? and that? why I can't do this anymore?". Simply replying "by design" is alienating to me :/
