Nautilus in Gnome used to have that 8 years ago (https://launchpad.net/nautilus-terminal https://launchpad.net/nautilus-terminal) so Plasma didn't invent anything here. But unfortunaly they discontinued it, which is a shame because indeed it's a nice feature. However there is a limit to this conccept: - no quake mode - no horizontal split - no way to manipulate the terminal shape and sessions from another terminal - keyboard shortcuts and config options are file explorer first, terminal second - no way to hide the explorer part. I don't want the files to always be here. - no shell integration. I want some status such as the git repot state or the virtualenv name to appear in the bar, and the shell to remove it automatically from the prompt if I'm in GUI mode. All in all, I'd prefer a specialized terminal, that have some file explorer features, and a real file explorer on the side, without the terminal features. But yes, it is a good start.
