Sorry, you are right, I replied to hastily, I realized what you meant after I 
played with Slack a bit more.

Indeed, it behaves more like a browser, for example it saves files to a 
Downloads folder.

Well, In this case I will wait to see what the next versions bring.

I still don’t like this, but now I understand why it was done like this.

I use Slack and it is also based on webkit, and it uses the native file dialog 
for file uploads.

If you selectively edit what I wrote, it'll always be easy to argue a point 
with me. Please read the paragraph in full:

As I've pointed out a number of times now, it is not possible to use the native 
file dialogues because of the security imposed by webkit (the same browser 
engine as is used in Chrome and Safari). Those security measures minimise the 
use of the dialogues to downloading files and form based uploads, which would 
make use of them very cumbersome for this purpose. We wouldn't be able to track 
recently used files and allow them to be opened from a menu, nor would we be 
able to to "Save" a file - it would always be "Save As", with no way for us to 
control the default directory (even if it was a file you just opened).
