Ars reviews GNOME 2.22, and concludes: "In version 2.22 GNOME continues to provide a high level of performance, functionality, and ease of use that contributes significantly to the viability of Linux on the desktop. Despite the numerous advances that are being made in GNOME technologies, there are still a few notable places where GNOME falls short of both open and proprietary competitors. GNOME application file dialogs, for instance, still lack basic support for file management operations such as rename and delete and don't provide support for viewing multiple file thumbnails."

Is it even bad to be an interface nazi? In general I like the way Gnome dose things and that is because they are interface nazis!
They care about the UI, they care about it fanaticaly and it shows. I even believe its rubbing off. Did you take a look at some of the dialogs and configuration applets in KDE? Some of the Gnome ideas on UI design definitely rubbed off and I'm sure the same will happen in reverse (some of those dialog ideas are good).
Sure file management in file open/save dialogs sucks right now, BUT the Gnome guys realized that the file open/save dialog has a lot in common with the file manager. They realized this with the release of XFCEs Thunar and I don't believe they are dumb enough to NOT act on that.
