When a new folder is created in the inventory, the first thing you'll want to do is rename it. Instead, you have to go find it, right-click, choose rename, then type the new name.
It would be much more intuitive if the new folder is automatically selected, with the cursor in the name field ready to type. Or a pop up on the creation of a new folder so you can specify name and location before it's created.

Here is a proposed patch (only tested on GNU/Linux) that does two things:
1) immediately selects new user-created folders (From inventory: Create->New Folder OR right-click an existing folder and select 'New Folder'); and
2) immediately begins to rename any new user-created asset (Folder/Script/Note/Gesture/Clothes.../Body Parts...) if it was successfully selected after creation (meaning it was viewable - ie, not hidden by a text filter and not made from the "Recent Items" panel in the case of new folders)
Looking at different ways to implement this, I finally opted to add new member data to LLFolderView because similar data was already present (mNeedsAutoSelect/mAutoSelectOverride), then added the selection callback to LLInventoryView, because it seemed to me to be most contextually relevant there (improvements and/or alternate solutions obviously welcome).
On a side note, Mr Greggan's popup suggestion seems potentially useful as well. It could bypass hidden asset selection/renaming limitations without having to clear filters or force all folder creation to the 'All Items' panel, providing more seemless/consistent behavior (although at some point, I'd rather see newly created empty folders filtered in 'Recent Items', regardless).
