campbell, regarding the file-selctor I agree with you.
we should not have to different ones. but we could
integrate some "standard"-functionality into blender's
file-selector like:

- jumping to an item by pressing the initial letter
- columns mode
- search function
- back- and forward-buttons (not only the cryptic "P")
