In Nautilus I would like to see an option under Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour which would allow us to either turn off the '2nd click rename' or turn it on. There is room for adding this option and if, implimented, this drastic change of behavior does warrant a preferences menu entry, in my opinion. If this menu is too crowded, is it possible to remove the option for 'always open in browser windows'? Is there any reason why anyone would want to have a new window open every time you double click a directory, particularly when gnome now has tabbed windows?

If 2nd click rename is the default behavior in Windows and OS X, lets get it happening in Gnome, but give us an option to turn it off. Or lets not implement it at all. But I am not in favor of any half-measures. Either do it fully, and properly but give an option to completely turn it off, or not do it at all.
