Nautilus is smooth and very comfortable. It's nothing but a joy to manage my home dir files with Nautilus.
Bash is just nice for such tasks.
Nautilus is the very first filemanager, I really like to use, for example to sort my mp3's or pictures or to sort my documents. And afterall it looks great. I like Nautilus and enjoy it very much.
