I love Default Folder, have been using it for years. One great feature it adds is the ability to delete files from open and save dialogs via contextual menus, a feature available in XP and probably the only feature I missed about that OS.
I’ve been using it for many years too. I think Marian Bantjes recommended it on Speak Up a long time ago.
The best feature, for me, is that if you press Option-Down Arrow you can go to the last location where you saved or opened a file, rather than have to find that location manually. It’s an amazing time saver, specially if you are working across different applications.
I too have been using it for a while and can testify to its awesomeness. I know that I’m only using half the features and it’s still become second nature — I hate using Finder without it.
I could not Live without Default Folder. Been using it since the 90s. Being able to “hover” over open Finder windows in the background and direct dialog boxes there with a click is the “killer app” aspect of this wonderful software. It should be built into OS X.
