Welcome to FOSS. The devs know better than the users. Or "that's difficult, we'll just take the easy way out"....
FOSS in general would be light years ahead of only the devs stopped designing GUI's.
There was an industrial designer who offered to help redesign the GIMP front end. This guy has an amazing cv of building user systems.
He was basically told, well of you want to redo the menu icons, we'll think about taking as look at it.
Needless to say his enthusiasm for the project vanished into the night.
Don't get me wrong, I think FOSS is amazing. But of we can't get to point of consistency in the UI, then the future is rocky.
Send like every FOSS app I use, users a different file picker. Why? GIMP is definitely the poster child for this one.
That's the beauty of Windows, things like file pickers are universal, do the user doesn't have to figure how to do the standard stuff don't in a file picker.
I'm hopeful, but not particularly optimistic.
