Comment 1 for bug 417365

I guess it's a matter of taste, because I still like the native dialog better because it integrates better with Windows. Recently, some effort was put into it to make it work with Windows Vista (and 7 I suppose), which has a revamped dialog with new options. Also, there was a bug report somewhere that seemed to point out that the GTK filechooser didn't correctly see special drives (if I remember correctly it was a network drive).

My opinion is that this dialog has to stay since I consider it far superior to the GTK one. Or make it an option.

PS: I'm aware that you can't added custom shortcuts to the left sidebar, is the same for Vista/7? This [1] is a solution that might work for you.
