Re: basic features missed

Actually most of that is not true, at least not in my gnome 2.8 installation which makes me wonder.

press a letter key to select files: you can even select a specifik file by writing the beginning of the filename
manage a printer: I have no problems using the gnome-printer-thingie on my workstation to add/remove printer
manage a cdrecorder: nautlius-cd-burner works like a charm for me
media preview: with the right backend it works for most files, there even is a nautilus-thumbnailers-extras that can thumbnail pdf, ps, abiword and various other documents
nautilus corrupts ftp transfered files: I never had such a problem with files transfered over ftp

I think the guy has a point in the two though. Perhaps they are more of features that could be nice than critical features in the everyday use of gnome.
