You should set up the shares on an nfs server and use autofs.  Then see
how easy it is for the Windows users...

You are comparing apples and oranges.  Sometimes you have to settle for
fruit cocktail.  Unless you get all the apps you want to use to use the
same library as Nautilus (gnome-vfs?) then you have to mount the share. 
Personally I use autofs to mount any SMB shares I need.  You might look
into setting it up with separate mountpoints for the different users (with
separate credentials files of course).
