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.
GNOME is much faster as you can type the filename's first characters and you are there. I used to press a letter again and again to navigate to a particular file (I dunno if it is there now and I don't know how it is in KDE as I don't use it). You doesn't know how to do it or it doesn't work the way it is in M$ doesn't mean that it cannot be done in GNOME or whatever WM.
KDE does things things similar to M$ while GNOME doesn't, that doen't mean KDE is better. GNOME does things differently than M$ or KDE and most of the times better than that. GNOME innovates (see the spatial file manager) and KDE copies :-)
