You might prefer icomplete-mode over ido if you like more conservative behavior. 


The default in normal find-file is for RET to open a directory in dired, but 
with ido-find-file, RET will open a (useless) buffer containing the name of the 
files in that directory and C-d is needed to open the directory in dired.
Honestly, I'd just use C-j for that. And having to press C-d if I forget isn't too bad either.
