from the starting point to the ending point matters a lot. For example, I find it very difficult to select files in GNOME's file dialog box simply because I have to search for the file and click it.
Where as in KDE or M$ Windoze, you can simply click any file and then press the first letter of your file and the box simply scrolls until you find your file... Its a zillion times faster.
I can do the same thing in GNOME filechooser too. I just press first few characters and it goes to those files. I can also press CTRL-L to go to any arbitrary directory, Something which KDE wont do.
my 2 cents: Its just a matter of getting used to particular WM.
