i tried it and it's not half what CCSM gives me, so i uninstalled it again
subsequently.

i have no problem at all with CCSM (thanks for bringing in the
abbreviation).
On the contrary, i am trying to promote the way CCSM allows users to search
its library of available configuration modules to become default for
open-file, save-as, open-with and download-to dialogs in every default
application in 10.10, since it works so well in CCSM already..

I'd even take it further in direction of the simplification you propose and
say Maverick should offer "show/hide content" toggles in every
gtkfilechooser dialog, and expose its ability to perform quick search upon
keyboard input.
Every mime type should have its individual pin/unpin support for default
save-as destinations and save-as or rename dialogs should offer the option
to input semantic metainformation manually for one or many objects/files.

Am i still unclear?
