OK, I'll bite.  Why? 

I tried 1 or 2 of the 0.x releases, and yesterday installed the 1.0 
release of nautilus.  I'd like know what other's think about it.

Here's my impression:

1. Too slow.  Although v1.0 is much faster than the earlier 
pre-releases, it's just usable on my fastest system (K6-2 500 MHz, 256 
MB RAM).  I wouldn't think of trying it on my slower systems

2. Visually very slick.  Unfortunately, the good looks sometimes get in 
the way of functionality.

3. No key board short-cuts (for file cut, copy, paste, etc).  It would 
be a real chore to use this thing on a laptop.

My reaction was to install KDE 2.1 -- which I'm very pleased with.
