You may not like it, but it's hardly unintuitive.

Left click on bottom left menu -> middle click on parent folder (or left

Use the tree view in the parent folder containing these hundreds of 
folders and just open the ones you need. Which is the view I use for my 
home folder, and my music folder. I've gone from having no experience 
with spatial window managers to really liking the way nautilus works.

I tend to access frequently used folders from the bookmark menu, and 
find the fact you can set size/position really useful, e.g. parent 
folder in top left, child folders tiled to right and below. Downloads 
folder that always opens in certain position. It has definitely changed 
the way I work and for the better.
