(I did read your entire e-mail and agree that a heads up on big ui 
changes are a good thing, but I just wanted to add an angle on the 
things-are-going-away-and-this-is-the-apocalypse-discussion)

For reference, here is the extra pane functionality in Nautilus:

And here is the same feature, but at the window manager level (and for 
all the other apps too):

Same thing, just on a different level and now desktop-wide.

I wanted to talk about this on Nautilus-list really, and all respect to 
the former and current Nautilus maintainers, but that app have become 
really, really weird in the last couple of releases with a lot of odd 
bugs surrounding the many different view modes and especially the 
combination of them. I'm happy someone have started looking into 
untangling that.
