Say I click my way to a file within some directory which is a long way 
down a path. If I try to click with only a few directories down a path, 
I have no way of knowing the actual path to the file.

All I get is a lot of open windows and know one of them was where the 
file originally was.

Getting a window for every click is bad enough. Why the new window 
cannot at least give you a clue as to where it came from, looking at the 
window with the file you want.

CTL-L is not any more of a convienience than a terminal shell or using 
the run dialog box.

Spacial mode is basically useless and does not really let one know where 
the file is and needlessly clutters up the desktop.
