File Permissions in Nautilus

Alexander Larsson recently committed his work on the permissions page in Nautilus. He writes: I just commited a rework of the permissions page in the file property dialog. It has a simplified UI (and an advanced/unixy version availible via a gconf setting) and support for recursive permission changes.

you are probably an expert

You sound like an expert, but I just wonder how a system which has been in use for 40+ years in entreprise environments worldwide can be "nearly useless".
Also, ACL, as implemented in windows, result in everyone being administrator, because it's so hard to have anything really working with it (all the companies I've seen where computers are not only use for trivial tasks work this way).
And the unix permissions "suck" so bad that they block most of security holes... unlike ACLs.

Or maybe you are not an expert after all...
