Points of view. I find it most useful, since I know for sure that if a
folder has been opened to show the contents of a directory, then that
folder will always represent that particular directory.

I am, by all means, a "seasoned" Linux user, but Nautilus became usable
for me only when implemented this neat feature.
I find myself unable to use any other file manager, when on OSX or
windows.

There's a menu item for this (File → Close parent folders, Shift + Ctrl
+ W), and you don't even have to do it, because most of the time, if you
have to descend a tree of directories, you can use Shift + Click or
Shift + Enter, which will open a child folder while closing the parent
one.

As a person whom I know would say: you are guilty of sadism, bestiality
and necrophilia, as you are flogging a dead horse. ;-)
Ciao,
