Well in my experience the nautilus text view really just gets in my way 
more often than not (because it doesn't support editting). Hence views 
supporting editting would probably be more useful to users than simply 
be used to view content ( and don't tell me that i should i just adjust 
my mime handlers, since regular users should be able to just point and 
click on documents to manipulate them and not have to mess up with the 
defaults).
