Well, I think it is most useful. Why do you think that a fully editable 
location bar is useless for filemanaging tasks?

I guess we need some more indepth reasearch from HCI people.

I regularily experience that Windows users are actually confused that explorer 
and Internet explorer are two different programs and they don't understand 
why they cant use c&p or d&d between IE/ftp and the local filesystem / 
explorer. What makes things even more confusing is that the Windows explorer 
has _some_ networking capailities too.

Yours,
