I see benefits to both. I like being able to set a folder to a specific view
and knowing when I go to that folder it will have THAT view. MY view. The view
I want.

But, really, it is not that big of a deal... means I have to switch from icon
to list or whatever... sometimes a sort option. And there are benefits to
having a back buttons and the like.

I am sure there are a few other things I would like... but nothing comes to
mind off hand other than what I note below.

But there were times it was -- with no good way to do it now. Hardly a deal
breaker though.

Even with things like Pages it might be good to have "sets" of preferences for
how I want the toolbar set up along with some other options -- but, really,
NOT a big deal. It is not like I run into issues often where I think how great
it would be.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
