IMO this is now pretty much of a non-issue, since the current GTK file selection dialog is sufficiently like Windows (but nicer!). The old GTK file selector was very foreign to Windows users, and in the win32 version of my GTK app I used the native win32 selector. But I recently decided to scrap that code as redundant. Consistency with the "host" desktop is good in itself, but consistency of look and feel within the application is also desirable, and switching from GTK to native Windows widgets can be jarring.
