The only way to solve this problem is install pcmanfm and run:
xdg-mime default pcmanfm.desktop inode/directory
This solution worked for me, because I have my main folders as .desktop
entries in the Unity dash.

One decent existing use-case for this feature is the baobab program
(that is useful to a broad user-base, not just power-users), which
helps people see their disk usage, and get rid of unneeded large files.
It would also apply to any other application that operates on folders.
Without this
Could the 'open with' be made optional? Default off for the people who
find it offending. And the ability to turn it on in preferences. I miss
this option allmost daily.

I've done my best to advocate the usefulness of this feature. The main
thing I will tell you, is that after you've discovered this feature, you
can't go back.
My own philosophy on software advancement places priority on two

@Lonnie: you seem to be a power user and have your workflow, that's fine

nautilus to manage files but I've used that feature.

@Jan:
- let's not argue about usability, it's not my domain, I'm just relaying
what I've read over the years (see e.g
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_menu#Usability)
- the argument there it's not that it confuses new users, where did
you get that? I wrote but a balance between too many
@Sebastien
I think all can intelligibly agree that the only reason a context menu
could be considered non-intuitive is due to the fact that it often
requires a right-click, instead of a left-click.
The studies you reference do not address the idea of making a normal
left-click produce context
You make a good point about the confusion that can come from too many
options being in a context-menu.
This can be addressed, however, by putting the numerous and rarely used
option under one parent-option labeled Advanced.

This is only a means to present an open with context menu option in nautilus

Now that Ubuntu is going with 3.6.x in 13.04 some re-consideration could be
given to returning this, reasonably non-invasive simple to patch back.
The idea that folders should only be opened from nautilus with nautilus is a
bit shortsighted.
