Not at all. It was a good read; here's some feedback.

My memory from looking at it years ago was that it was non-functioning
abandon-ware.

You read that snippet of code incorrectly. No such prompt.

I've been a long-time happy user of winner, and found the answer to be
no. Winner operates on all windows of a frame, not just the current
dired buffer. Thus, if you had in your window configuration history
temporary quick-shell buffer-windows or quick-file-view buffer-windows,
they would pop in and out if you were using winner-undo to navigate
sequentially in your dired history. Also, does winner-mode have a
quick-jump to a specific history element?

When I had tried recentf years ago, I was disappointed that its only
interface was the ncurses menu. Is that still the case? In any event,
a recentf menu will include ALL recently visited items, so that list
will be a mixture of emacs files and dired buffers and who knows what
else; a user would need to visually filter out the path-names ending
with a file from those ending with a directory ...

What do you mean by "toggles and filters"?
