Yes, it is a very nice feature, and requested in a three-year old bug.

I don't see what it breaks exactly -- the old situation where you'd show the 
directory from which you last opened a file is confusing, and since the last 
opened file is in the recent files list it's kind of superfluous. 

I guess we could make it an option -- either the current working directory as 
it is now, or the Documents directory, if the application isn't opened with a 
file. The old situation was just nuts, in my opinion.
