Absolutely agree. If they think they can make a better file manager, great, go ahead. But including transports in the file manager means that remote data only looks integrated, it isn't actually available to local apps. Or (just as bad) they'll decide they need a copy-to-local and copy-back-to-network mechanism, which will work for some files opened by some apps but not all. Arghh. Nemo (under Linux) does that for some protocols (eg. Android media transfer), and it is very annoying, especially as there are already FUSE drivers for (at least some) such protocols. In practice it means that the only thing you can do using Nemo is copy/move files around.
