For example, you cannot change location in Nautilus without using magic keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl + L. But you can see location just fine, just you can't change it.
Yes, you can. I almost never use Ctrl+L. By default you have several ways to navigate, and you can even customize it to look pretty similar to Windows if you wanted, and you don't even have to use Nautilus at all if you don't want to.
And don't kid yourself, you're never offline, you fucking nerds.
Everything else you said was simply stating the obvious, but for this one I have to call bullshit.
Just because it's not what you're used to doesn't mean it's a bad idea
Am I the only one that's sick and tired of seeing this nonsense argument? At what point did he say "It's a bad idea because it's not what I'm used to"? Your reply is completely irrelevant. I could just as easily say "Just because it's not what you're used to doesn't mean it's a good idea."
