Not being the original poster, anyway, I don't think the situation
without the compact layout is much better, yep, stuff gets aligned to
a grid correctly, however the grid is FAR to wide, making it very
difficult to see when there are more then very few files in the
folder:

In general I feel that nautilus is really lacking any kind of view
that is useable for folders with large number of files, be it a
grided-compact layout or a smallicon view such as:

If I currently try to configure nautilus to give text beside icons and
such and zoom out a bit I only end up with such unusable results:

Anyway, this is nothing new, those problems have been there since day
one of nautilus.
