I worked with nemo a while back when I was testing cinnamon desktop. I am not sure what I should find better with nemo than with the gnome file manager. What I find particularly annoying with nemo is the fact that it is not using the tracker infastructure to search for files content. nemo opens every file and searches online every time I use the search functions. and that includes to CPU intense actions like “pdftotext” which nemo executes in the background to search in PDF documents. The gnome file manager on the other hand uses the tracker database to give instant results without stress to the system.
