I agree. /Sometimes/ it's what you want. I know I've written things that 
use dired-find-file, but that's usually the last thing I call. The 
underlying application doesn't depend on switching to another buffer; 
it's just that the result switches the buffer at the end just for the 
user. /Usually/ an application doesn't want to do that. After all, 
switching buffers more than once might undo a previous switch.
