Yes, if you have to do that on Windows 7, then something needs
fixing. It isn't neccesary on Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows.

IIRC it had its own problems, such as not being able to open
non-existing files (even if used only for directories, the standard file
dialog at least allows you to create directories inside the dialog). It
also seemed a bit clumsy and left behind from an earlier version of
Windows, but things may have changed since the dialog support was first
added. I'm not aware of any other programs that use it, so it doesn't
have the benefit of being familiar to Windows users that the file dialog
has (though the familiarity is lost when we start using it to select
directories, which it was never designed to do).
