I for one never use browser mode, ever.  I am a long time Apple OS user though 
so I was accustomed to spatial browsing from the behavior of OS6 on.  Since 
Gnome introduced it again I've used nautilus that way.

As for the default, the chances of getting upstream to accept a return to 
browser mode is about nil.  As I remember it even getting an option in the 
general preferences to allow using browser mode was a major fight for people. 
When they first shifted to this (it was Gnome 2.0?), and the only way to get 
nautilus open in browser mode was using a CLI argument.

Personally I wouldn't care which behavior is default, it takes 2 seconds to 
change.  If the preference option went away, I'd care.
