For folks on the web every day this makes sense.

I'm not sure my Mom, when browsing, knows how to decide when opening in a new window is important, much less how to do it.

It's also kinda nice when you're using an iframe, and you don't want the link to be followed inside a small subsection of the viewport.

I totally agree that it gets abused, but it does (at least seem to) have some valid uses.
