Simply put, if you opened a new folder in the same window it wouldn't be 
spatial (which folder does that window represent?).  If you want browser 
style functionality, use the browse mode.

Also, is there any reason why you posted your reply here instead of on 
gnome-devel-list where it began?  If the thread needed to be moved, 
moving to nautilus-list would have been more appropriate.
