In Nautilus, when you right-click on the empty space in List View you get the options to "Create Folder" and "Create Document".
I suggest adding these options when right-clicking on a folder (perhaps only when using list-view, or perhaps an option to enable this feature). This would place the new file or folder inside the folder you right-clicked on.
Currently, to add a new folder into a sub-folder in list-view, you need to create a new folder, (which appears at the end of the list), rename it, then drag it to the target folder where you want it (or copy an empty folder to the target folder and rename it).
ALSO: Ctrl+Shift+N could add the new directory into the currently selected directory (perhaps an option).
REASON:
I program and have a heavily nested folder structure. I prefer List View over the Tree panel as the Tree panel doesn't have the options to:
#1: open files directly from the tree (Even with "Show Only Folders" off).
#2: change the "root" of the tree, which hides unimportant folders at the top of the tree eg "/bin", "/boot"...
#3: create documents. (without an unnecessary view panel).
