Sorry, but I fail to see how a cludgy text-based 80's file open interface 
that doesn't even allow you to select network locations or change view 
settings is "more optimised" than the standard Windows file open dialog. 
It's surprising the number of times I use the "New Folder" and copy, paste, 
rename options within standard file open and save dialogs.  Why did they 
think it was necessary to stop the user doing this in Blender?

Or how pressing space instead of right button to open the menu (which then 
follows some weird non-standard behaviour, like the items changing order) is 
more optimised.  It's funny, I have used several pieces of professional 3D 
CAD software (which are used by tens of thousands of people for 8 hours a 
day) and yet none of them felt it necessary to reassign the standard Windows 
operations like left click to select, right click for menu, F1 for help, 
ctrl-left-click to multi-select or use their own file dialog boxes or menu 
systems in order to make their program "more optimised".
