One, the "File Browser" mode, is like Windows Explorer, with a two-pane display (folder tree on the left, folder contents on the right). Then there's the "Spatial" mode, which is what you get when you double-click a folder on your desktop. In Spatial mode, Nautilus behaves very much like the Finder in older versions of the Mac OS: A new window opens for every folder you access.
A lot of people think that this is a bogus way to operate. Just one of their complaints is that if you're drilling down to a buried subfolder, you end up with a screen full of windows in no time at all. Never mind the fact there's an easy way around this (the double-middle-click); Mark Shuttleworth decided, apparently by fiat, that there's a better way, and he had his coders implement it right before the Hoary release: Double-clicking a folder in Ubuntu not only opens the new folder, but also closes the previous folder window.
That does solve the glut-of-folder-windows problem, but there are a lot of reasons to dislike this new behavior. Just one example: Imagine you're navigating to a folder four levels deep in order to grab a file there and move it up to a folder only one level deep. When you arrive at your destination and find your file, its new home has disappeared; it got closed as you clicked your way down through your folders. Yes, in "Ubuntu Spatial" mode, a double-middle-click gives you what a double-click used to: It will open a new folder without killing the previous folder window.
I'm so used to the "normal" Spatial mode that I've re-enabled it on my Ubuntu machines. That's relatively easy to do via a hack in GConf (Gnome's somewhat Registry-like settings storehouse)--but before making such a big change in Nautilus, the Ubuntu gang should have provided a simple toggle for this new behavior in Nautilus's Preferences dialog.
