Here's a time saving tip for Mac users: when you're in an Open/Save dialog the keyboard shortcut Shift ~ will bring up a CLI style folder navigation window that lets you easily type the path to a folder. Even better, the path window features bash-style tab complete. Type the first letter of the folder, press Tab and it will auto-fill the name. Press tab again and type the next letter and so on. Perfect for keyboard junkies.
I can't believe I've been using OS X for six years and I never knew this.
There are some other keyboard-based navigation shortcuts for the same Open/Save dialogues, including Apple-D which will jump to your Desktop folder and probably more I don't know about, but feel free to educate me in the comments below.
