Probably because there should be two location entry.

I too think that this feature is very useful, at least for me. I've
always used Gnome,
but this feature, along with the "[copy|move] to" in the nautilus
right-menu, is the one
that I miss most.

Personally I find it useful for two reason:
1 - It is easier to move a file from one place to another
2 - It is easier two compare the content of two directory (e.g. a
directory backup that I placed on a cd and the original directory).

Obviously that's only my opinion.
