> The first time you see dialogues asking "Do you allow this app to open files in your Documents folder" its sort of annoying, but its a fantastic idea.

It’s not a great idea because it’s annoying. It is not really useful in its current incarnation to most people.

This is because the dialogs have gotten rid of the disclosure arrows that gave path information and metadata about the binary. Also, executables used to have names consistent with the naming conventions on the platform. Now you just get dialogs with some cryptic name, and a one line manpage.
