But the flip side of installing Nemo is that it only comes with cinnamon... Well I got cinnamon too.
I thought I would dislike nautilus 3.6, but IMO its actually a big improvement. For example I actually loved that they replaced type-to-find with search. At first I thought I would hate this, because the search in nautilus 3.4 never worked for some of my use cases (I have a samba share with a lot of videos, ctrl + f search would never work on that, it would just freeze forever), and type-to-find had its own issues (for example lets say you have a folder names noodles, but are looking for noodles.mkv, with type to find it will go to the folder but no way to go to the file so I have to scroll). with nautilus 3.6 I just start typing and it shows me all the relevant results instantly, even over the network share! The only problem atm is the lack of recursion (which is already fixed in nautilus 3.7 afiak). The only other problem I had with it is that by default the new document template is missing, but thats easy to fix.
It also looks a lot less ugly than nautilus 3.4 did with the ambiance theme, and the symbolic icons look really nice.
