You might be interested in rawhide[1] or fselect[2]. (Note: I don't really use them myself, but they seem to offer something like what you're suggesting.) Also, this is still a find-style syntax, but my bfs utility supports -exclude [3]. So you can write bfs -type f -exclude -path ./excluded_dir which is a bit more ergonomic.
