The only problem with dialog boxes is (as you mentioned) there are so many of
them. Due to the high number of dialog boxes being presented to users, they
don't even read them and just click "yes". How many times have you been
dealing with a user complaining about a particular error they get and when
you ask for the text of the message, they have no idea because they just
click a button to make it go away?

Yep. Bring back File Manager.
