I don't really see how doing anything else would be better. It indeed
jumps to `default-directory', and that can be useful sometimes.

For example, as I'm writing this message, if I press `C-x C-j', Emacs
opens `~/News/drafts/drafts'. Which is relevant, at least.

And if you don't really want to see the directory it opens, just press
`q', the Dired buffer will be buried, and you will see the buffer you
were in before.
