New design- can't get to Nautilus without some work.

I like the new shell design, but with it comes a fairly big issue IMHO: I cant get to Nautilus now without some work. I have no desktop icons, so there is no "computer" on the desktop. I was hooked on getting to my home directory and recent docs in the panel on the left in the old shell layou

I personally think that icon size is perfect as is. If some people needs bigger icons, then the icon size should be increased through the Universal Access (Large Text option maybe). The bar on the right in the exposé view will be really great when we will see the other workspaces with the open app

At this point I'm wondering why "Activities" is its own button. Why not have "Windows" and "Applications" up in the main top bar and eliminate the need for the "Activities" button (which would have the same effect as "Windows") "Windows" would be in the upper left and act just like "Activities"
