The simplest argument would be that none of the other user folders under home
have a top level position and I'm sure that you wouldn't agree if someone
suggested that one of them be put as a new top level entry, so what makes
Desktop so special to be put in that position?

> That argumentation as well would fit for the shortcut view, or ?

In shortcut view, all of the user folders are easily accessible, because it
would require 2 clicks and a large amount of mouse movement to get to them if
they weren't visible (you have to move the mouse from the pane to the
file/folder area). This isnt the case for tree view, where you can easily
expand home, if it isnt already expanded, and move the mouse a short distance
to get to any of the user folder, without leaving the pane. I always launch
thunar with home expanded in tree view and i think that might be a good default
view for it, so its more resembles shortcut view.
