Inside Macintosh the use of modal dialogs was strongly discouraged

it was possible to use something else. The original system design
used a
modal Open dialog but this became a modeless dialog in System 7
(1991),
if I recall correctly.
I must be missing something here.
Which Apple applications have non-modal Open dialogs?
All the ones that I tried (TextEdit, Preview.app, Safari, Xcode
3.2.6) have modal Open dialogs - you can't do anything in other
documents while the Open dialog is displayed.
I'm running Snow Leopard, so maybe things are different in Mountain
Lion - but Snow Leopard is a long way from System 7.
