Well, AFAICT "gnome-classic" uses nautilus similary how GNOME 2 did so
it's an important piece for the desktop. This is quite different in
"gnome-shell", you can even disable nautilus so it's not started on every
boot and just launch it when you need to browse your files/folders.

I "removed" tracker in my system because I don't need a desktop search in
the laptop. It can be disabled or tweaked to be less resource-intensive,
though.
