At first sight this idea seems to be cool, but it's not. FileBrowser is not a "reinvented wheel", it's really useful in a closed environments like smalltalk. FileBrowser has the same features on all platforms while native dialogs don't.
I may be wrong, but I think the basic features are the same. And the purpose of dialogs to ask user and return its answer to the system. And this feature is shared by all the dialogs. If we're talking about selecting files, such kind of dialogs at least in windows and linux have almost the same feature set and are more usual for people.
Some platforms don't even have a graphical UI, would you open a terminal in the image on those?
I may not understand something, but is it possible to use Pharo's GUI on such platforms?
