If we come up with some sort of shortcut to replace the original f3/split it might be a good idea to disable the sidebar in one of the two nautilus intances. Especially on small screens, where screen space is valuable. (though on a 24" monitor, I wouldn't care...) I think you can achieve this by starting nautilus with "start-with-sidebar false". But I can't test this atm, as I'm at work. On the other hand, using a shortcut to allign two nautilus windows side-by-side has some limitations. For example, with this approach you always end up with two "half" maximized windows. They fill the whole screen. You would not be able to easily resize both windows as you were with the old nautilus f3/split functionality. If I look back, resizing a split nautilus window was something I did rather frequently.
