To assume that the silent majority are happy with things is an equally poor assumption. And even further to assume that the majority of gnome users (who aren't on the list and just use arbitrary distros) are happy with things because one cannot hear their complaints is probably not correct. I'd say that the file selector is just good enough that it works for most people (it does let people save and open files!), even if it happens to annoy them. The annoyance level is just not high enough to really effect any kind of massive rethink or relook (I fall into this category; I would hack the code if I was annoyed sufficiently). Windows annoys most people frequently yet they still use it. > > That said, this thread had some good results. A few good points were > brought up, and agreed upon.
