Don't get me started on Nautilus.  For me, the introductio of Nautilus was
the beginning of the end for GNOME.  With Nautilus, the GNOME project strayed
so far away from the Unix philosophy, esp. the idea that programs should do
one thing well, you'd think Microsoft was running the project!  Try
describing Nautilus in one brief, understandable sentence.  Here's mine:

   Nautilus: the all singing, all dancing, swiss army chainsaw that eats
   memory for lunch and serves no useful purpose whatsoever.
