After all, Dolphin is easily the most explorer-like file manager I've seen on Linux. Heck, like I said, it even managed to replicate Vista's misguided auto-horizontal-scrolling "feature" in the tree-view panel. And besides, KDE and GNOME have always been about giving a more Windows-like (or mac-like) feel to Linux, and in no small part for the sake of new Linux users. Plus, the latest ones, KDE4 and GNOME3 were largely about re-designing things in hopes of making them easier still. (At least that's been my understanding.)
