Sorry, but I don't happen to think it is nicer.  The vast majority of the time
I don't NEED to move more than one level at a time.  I enabled the title click
for a good reason.

Apple seems to have decided that a drop down menu is superior to a single click,
even when that single click does what you want.  Not only did they apparently
remove the title click feature, but in Standard File, they removed the drive
button and replaced it with a desktop button.  They couldn't be happy with
redefining the "click on drive picture" to put you back to the desktop level but
they had to dumb down the drive button as well.  Instead of a simple click, we
are now forced to click, move, select menu item.

I don't mind it when they add features, but WHY in the heck to they have to 
remove the features I've come to rely on.  At the very least, they could leave 
it as an option.  But nooooooooo.........
