How to play follow the queen

It's a well known bit of advice, to not bring the queen out early, but I don't think many beginners understand the reasoning behind this, because it's not correct to say a queen has more power than a pawn, only more mobility. What is the forum's general opinion on the queen attacking early? Should she stay on the opening square until later on in the game? Is it better to develop her early as she is the most powerful piece?
