Hi,
This goes out of topic.... nevertheless:
I like broken's proposal for an improved fileselector. Our system has
all kinds of nice features I don't want to give up. Apart from that,
for me most important still is to keep a consistant single-window
subdivide interface working.
With no dependencies for menus, guis, widgets, selectors, etc. to
specific OS's, Blender is weird, but it allows an intersting freedom as
well. A review on that topic can best be done for a 3.0 design, but I'm
sure the opinions will differ among people a lot!
