As I understand it, the designers consider the Alt-F2 dialog "power user crack". That means that: 1. They won't put any (much?) design work into it 2. They won't object (much?) to an advanced (e.g. do-like) dialog So I wouldn't discard a more powerful run dialog, but it is not in the focus of the core developers - lots of work and not much time. But I think reasonable (a.k.a. "not total crack") contributions would be appreciated. In addition, extensions can overwrite the build-in dialog - it's neither officially supported nor recommended, but extensions *are* that powerful.
