Just drag-and-drop, you can pick up the current folder in Finder bij dragging it from the titlebar (with a slight delay, else you move the window) and dragging it to any application in the Dock you like (even the Terminal, which will cd into that folder).

The other way around, if you are in a terminal, use the command open[0] to open the current folder in Finder, or a file in the corresponding application.

Yea I love this ability to drag and drop stuff. Combined with “open .” as you mention, it does nearly make up for the lack of a new file context menu!
