Regarding file-picker dialogs. I always found the most annoying dialog was actually with Windows: The folder chooser.

You only have a directory file tree, that is often not in the right directory, where the application was launched from. No really way to directly jump to a directory via a path, that you copied from a open Explorer, which you might have open next to it, because you started the .exe from there. So you have to click your way through.

The default Windows file-picker has let you paste in a path for decades. The address bar at the top can let you paste in a path and the "File name:" prompt at the bottom supports several different kinds of paths.

I don't mean the file-picker, but the folder-picker (FolderBrowserDialog).
