Going Downhill With a Gimp

I just upgraded to Gimp 2.2. I was hoping that some odd interface bugs like holding down shift or control with the selection tool would only do one and one thing only. That wasn't fixed, but this montrosity got introduced instead:

The Gimp's new browse dialog

My main problem with this thing is that there is absolutely no place for me to quickly type in the filename that I want to open. I am forced to browse all the to the root directory, down through /mnt, and bunch of other crud where I could have just punched in "/mnt/drive/images/clipart/crud/myimage.jpg". The old browse dialog even supported TAB completion.

So my request to the people behind the Gimp: add a text entry field to the browse dialogs that worked just like the old one, fix some actual bugs that make the Gimp a pain in the ass to use, and stop hanging out with the guys that Apple, Microsoft, and Google fired because their GUIs just plain sucked! Otherwise I'll go looking for another pixel editor, and I might just end up in Windows.
