I'm sorry, I can't make sense of most of this email. But, if you are
agreeing that "we should not ask GNOME apps to be more GNOME-like just
because not all GNOME apps can currently be perfect" then you should explain
"What criteria do you suggest we use instead".

Again, The fileselector has been properly discussed and it's on the way.
Whining will not make it happen any faster.
