The launchpad-style breadcrumbs are certainly an improvement, but I personally feel that the more textual style for breadcrumbs (element > element > element) would be better. Not only does KDE use this style, but so does Windows Vista, and the majority of web sites that include breadcrumb navigation. This style would be more familiar to users. In any case, the current breadcrumb style is very undesirable, and should be fixed as some point in the future.
The home button is also redundant, and arguably a waste of space, as there is a link to Home both in the Places left sidebar and in the Go menu. Also, a reload/stop button is pretty much a necessity to work with storage with slow data rates and high latencies (network disks, etc.).
Although I do not necessarily agree with the existence of a global setting for showing text with toolbar items, ignoring this global setting in a program that forms such a central and high-profile part of Gnome, such as Nautilus, would be dangerous and confusing to users.
