Copying stuff out of my Downloads folder, for one. I tried doing that with MacOs' Alfred for a while (select in finder -> shortcut -> fuzzy search destination -> move to), but a decent enough bookmark system in a two-panel folder works better for me.
I also often just dump new documents in a standard location and reorganize it later, as that's more user friendly than your average file requester and postpones one of IT and life's hard problems.
All in all, pretty similar to what I did on my 286. There's a little bit more file search involved (at least on my Mac, less so on Linux) and iTunes/cdrip/beets took a lot of effort out of organizing music.
Sure, I don't need a secondary fm for that, but then again, I don't really need a git client/IDE, either.
