Why have Mint backported Nemo from unstable Mint 14 to the LTS Mint 13?
Mint 13 users will find that Nautilus has mutated into something called Nemo.
It's fine as simple and clumsy file manager - but lacking in a lot of function e.g. Emblems, open as root, multimedia info not shown (not even for MP3 files)...

But I get to keep nautilus 3.4 (with a load of stuff from ppa's) which is very nearly as good as the old nautilus.
