Eclipse vs. Notepad comparison

By connecting to a (switch to a new) workspace the open folder dialog appears old-fashioned and not to be as advanced as any standard Windows 10 utility open dialog ( for example, compare with a Notepad open file dialog ). I cannot use the Quick Access (in German - Schellzugriff) possibilities.
This is espesially pretty visible, if the workspace is located on a NAS share neither with drive letter mapping nor visible in network browsing.
In such situation the workspace connection is still possible but approaches to some type of workarounding.

I think it needs SWT Win10 to use newer SDK for this to look as desired.

@Niraj  please correct me if I'm wrong.

Support for modern directory dialog can be see from Eclipse I20171006-2000 on wards via bug 443250 in SWT.
