I completely agree it should auto-refresh when getting focus. As others have stated, how else do you know which changesets might have been added since the last time you checked? As for profoundly hating UIs that auto-refresh for eating up CPU, I profoundly hate having to constantly click the Refresh button and occasionally making errors when I forget to do so. I'll happily pay for the extra CPU cycles. If you make it an option, then you don't need to use auto-refresh if you don't like it.
As a case in point, it should auto-refresh after any Sync Repositories. My branch explorer views are always out-of-date after a sync and plastic obviously knows they are out of sync. Why won't it refresh?
