I wholeheartly agree.

Please tell me how you came to this conclusion? The "Open With" wish 
(bug:131410) has 0 votes and the similar wish 63067 has 20 votes (from 
one person I guess because there's only a single comment).

If this button is so important to many people then why does this wish 
not have 100+ votes and 5+ duplicates? Why does this wish not appear 
among the 2292 most wanted features?

Ingo
