One reason could be to reduce "featuritis". I know Nautilus has already
been stripped from various Eazel-bells and whistles so it would not be
without precedent. However if a majority of the developers thinks the
location bar is an essential feature in Nautilus, then I'm certainly not
going to argue over that.

I'm sure it could be programmed that way. Don't you agree a
well-polished "location" applet would be a good addition to the GNOME
desktop?

There are good reasons to -at least- keep the location bar hidden by
default; they are discussed in bug 82107.
