Nautilus does allow for direct deletion.  You can right click the file
and delete it and now you can, I believe, press the delete key while
the file is selected.  This is in nautilus 1.0.3.  Which version are
you running?

Again, in nautilus 1.0.3, in preferences you can customize your
default view.  So you could set it to view as list.

Hope this helps...
