It's just a question of habits.
I know many people, including myself, who are using the file browser
and find out they want to create a new document in the current folder.
This use case is then the way they usually go.

How many times my wife came screaming at me because she did 'create document'
(which does 'nothing' BTW) and then double-click and Ubuntu shows this ugly dialog with
'do you want to view, execute...' (I forget the exact buttons)
and she doesn't know what to do.
I have then to remind her : 'no first open the application...'

This bug fix will really go towards common usability.
