The primary use case I have is flipping through directories of

share, sometimes on external hw - a friend's SDcard or USB hdd at an
event or my phone via USB.) Photo managers don't work for this use case
because I'm going thru photos from a shared pool or mounted external
devices. Wider context is putting together corporate presentations and
trying to find appropriate images / diagrams for particular slides, or
putting together brochures / web page designs / blog post reports etc
and going thru others' photos of events (say FUDcon or GUADEC or
whatever) to find good content to snag.
Do you use eog's collection view for this, or do you mean that you use
nautilus for the directory view, and just launch eog for individual
images ? The latter is what I do, I find the collection view pretty much
unusable.
