I also miss this functionality, as in my day-to-day work, I am very
frequently copying file paths from Nautilus and pasting them into a
terminal.

This change just causes me aggravation, and has severely slowed down my
workflow.  At times, I have now found myself using Dolphin because its
quicker and easier to use to perform the regular tasks I need to
perform.

If the change was considered necessary, then there should have been an
option in Nautilus "Properties" to switch the button back on if that is
what a user wants.  Linux and FOSS is meant to be about choice and
freedom, after all.

Telling users to use "Ctrl+L" is not a valid response to this problem.
That is not a solution, it is a workaround for "power users".  No
regular users know about this shortcut.  In fact, most experienced users
won't know about this shortcut.  I certainly didn't.

Keyboard shortcuts are there to provide power users who can remember
shortcuts with a way to perform regular tasks quicker.  They should
NEVER be a complete replacement for GUI-based functionality.  This
breaks one of the biggest, most basic rules of GUI design.
