I understand the problems with attempting new approaches to certain 
system tools, file-selectors and other programs. I would just hate for 
all of the most despised defaults that are present on alternative OSes 
do not find their way into an operating system that is a haven from the 
quirks contained in the closed source OS that it is not.

I'll try KDE after upgrading the 491 rpms on this system while using 
gnome for a curiousity and what I find sane behavior for a usable 
operating system.

I respect the developers, but sometimes emulating features from one OS 
might be adding a repulsive feature to fairly sane and enriched with 
feedback to the user system. Meaning, I like to know where I am actually 
saving the file to. /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin or /bin as an example.
