Great, I like this new design, especially with the Chromium-like preview
integration (preview integration was also was I liked a lot in the CPD).
Also the touchscreen support is important as convertibles (laptops which
double as a tablet) get more common.
And great to see that the GNOME developers are actively working on the
print dialog. I feared that the efforts on it have practically died.
My dream of the times of the CPD was that common dialogs like
Open/Save/Print are always coming from the desktop in use and not from
the app, with the app's call for the dialog let's the GUI library call
the dialog via D-Bus. This should give the user experience of a clean
interface of having the same dialogs for the same tasks.
