If there are issues you'd like to see fixed, the best way to get those dealt with would be to contribute.

I would very much like to see the file chooser/ open and save dialog in GTK fixed because it affects a lot of software even if one is not using Gnome. It affects Firefox on Linux on all DEs, it even affects Gimp on Windows. I am not a GTK/C/Vala programmer though.

I would like for gnome apps to behave better when opened on DEs other than Gnome.

Other than that, I don't really care about Gnome. I use Plasma on Linux.

Well, if you want some changes made, you would have to define what you mean by "fixed" and come up with some concrete steps to do that, and then implement those steps, or find a person who can do them for you.

If the app uses GtkFileChooserNative, it can likely already be configured to use an external file dialog, with some caveats: https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a5cxwk/firefox_v64_can...
