For you, perhaps. I think Unix is anything you want it to be. For me, Unix is 
one-tool per module. Modules are logically assembled to accomplish 
tasks. Forgive me the gear-head analogy, but I've only got so much room in my 
toolbox. For example, instead of 40 metric wrenches for my Porsche, I have 4 
wrenches, one ratchet and 36 sockets. You may love your 40 metric wrenches, 
and enjoy taking the time to jumble through your toolbox when you want to 
find the right size, but I like holding one tool in my hands and changing the 
socket to suit the task at hand. I get more work done that way. Most 
professional mechanics would agree.

God damn those users! They screw everthing up! All kidding aside, all we're 
asking for is the ability to add (Rename, Cut, Copy and Paste) selections to 
the context sensitive menu of the file dialog box. New folder is ALREADY an 
option; do you support removing this feature too? 

The file dialog box is a tool I ignore because it's broken for me without 
integrated file management features. I use Konqueror exclusively for this, in 
that I keep project folders open and middle-button click to open them in 
whatever tool I'm using. I'll keep doing this as long as the file dialog tool 
is broken.

Sean.
