Ok, this I can agree with - there are too many modal dialogs still in
Photoshop, but I don't think of this as a Windows-ism, more like a legacy
Photoshop-ism. I can think of no reason why, for instance, the basic
Image>Adjust dialogs (Curves, Levels, etc) shouldn't be modeless,
especially now that we have non-destructive Adjustment Layers.

Don't know about the Windows controls though... again, the platform seems
more like the Adobe Virtual Machine than OSX or Windows to me.
