I hate column views!
For Panther, Apple needs to provide an option to change views in the Open/Save dialogs.
It's great that some people find column views useful. But -- I don't want to be forced to use it (ie. in the Open/Save dialog), since it doesn't work for me.
This issue has bugged me since day one and hasn't been addressed. I still hate opening and saving files in OS X because of the column views. It always takes me several clicks and scrolls just to figure out what is selected and where I'm at.
It is extremely disappointing that Apple hasn't given users the option of which view to use in the Open/Save dialogs.
I find that the Windows XP Open/Save dialogs are significantly easier to use -- and that's sad. All I ask for is the choice to decide whether or not to use column view. Those that love it can continue to use it and those of us that don't, have an option available to us.
