I've personally put a lot of (email) effort into making keyboard
navigation work in Nautilus. So we now have quite (but not perfect)
Mac-like keyboard navigation:

Back in my Mac days, people who looked at the Mac thought that it was all
about clicking icons. People who used it intensively didn't often use the
mouse.

Note that keyboard navigation is essential for accessibility for disabled
people, and SUN have made sure that it works.
