Description
When you are browsing your file system, you can right-click on any directory and choose Open in Terminal, and you get a Terminal window opened to that selected directory.
There are scripts available that allow users to add a "Open in Terminal" command to the Nautilus service menu, this should be included in the default installation. Most Linux users goto the terminal often enough to make this useful.

As default, this would confuse new users. Don't let my mother near this command!

I think i read somewhere that Canonical did not wan't that in nautilus. It was they want the most common things to be configured by GUIs. If this option is there by default, developers tend to get lazy and just tell users to use the termial for various configurations and not bother to implement the GUI. So in the long run, this would not benefit ubuntu.
Maybe this is true, maybe it's false. However, a regular terminal user can easily install this as adityakavoor describes above. If this were installed by default, Ubuntu would not be as friendly to new users, which really goes against Ubuntus general philosophy.

I agree with zeb3000.
And if you're using the terminal often enough to find an entry in the contextual menu useful, you might as well keep a terminal open at all times. Using the cd command would then probably be just as quick.
Also when you copy a file in nautilus and paste it in the terminal, it inserts the full path to that file in the command line.
