Try entering '~/' at the save prompt, and press <TAB> twice. That
should give you a folder view. You also have tab-completion. All you
really need to do, is enter enough of the destination to disambiguate
where you wish to browse from. In my book that counts as 'easy'.

When in the folder view try pressing '?' to see the list of bound
keys. Especially useful is 'N' for creating new files (if you quit the
browser without selecting a destination you are placed where you began
your browsing, and your text prompt is set to delete your current
entry (moving back and forth or tabbing once or something else other
than typing something printable should fix that)).
