While it's true that if you ssh to a host that isn't configured to update the working directory the value becomes stale while in that ssh session, if you set up the remote host's shell the same way it will keep the value up to date, and Terminal won't treat it as a local path if the URL names the remote host. | |

Aesthetics, really. I really didn't like having the folder in the prompt and in the title bar. Furthermore, if you are connected as another user (i.e. with su or ssh), the title bar shows your local folder instead of the folder of the user your connected to.

Setting the Terminal working directory enables several useful behaviors, like being able to create a new terminal in the same directory, and restoring the working directory for Resume and Window Groups. | |
