It used to be that if you double-clicked a folder, it would open in the
same window, and you could use the back arrow to move back to the
previous window.  Strike "used to be" because it's still the same way.

Ditto for option double clicking a folder; it used to and still opens
the folder while closing the enclosing folder.

The change is that previously, command-double clicking a folder would
open it in a new window; now it opens it in a new tab in the same
window.

Blame that on Simon Frasier; he stopped developing MNNW years ago. Open
Transport was deprecated many versions of OS X ago, and finally removed
in Mavericks.

Because the surfing site it's named after is named "Mavericks".
