Windows 95/98/2k were the peak of "Open" and "Save As" dialogs. Some linux DE's managed parity in the mid-2000s but then removed features and introduced bugs again as mobile/convergence motivations took over in 2010+. Nowdays you can't even paste into a File->Open dialog in a gtk3 based desktop environment without triggering an error.
