I have to admit I was not fond of the default appearance of Nautilus in Gnome 2.6. However it was so much faster now, it was passible. Then I found out on forums.gentoo.org that changing the command for the launcher to "nautilus --no-desktop --browser" made it look and work just like in Gnome 2.4, but still much faster.
As to the lack of ability to type file paths in the new open dialogs, well, that was the removal of a non-intuitive portion of the interface. The majority of "joe users" will browse for the file anyway, rather than remembering its full path and name. And of course a previous respondant pointed out the whole "root" access issues with editing config files.
