Yep, konqueror is my filemanager, web browser, (s)ftp client and quick
previewer (with kparts integration).
It is just great to be able to split a view and have a web page on one side and an sftp connection on the other to quickly copy linked documents from
the first to the second :-)

(actually, splitting views is one of my favourite konqueror killer feature)


That's how I do it too. Really cool! Also, the KDE4.5.X where you drag the window into the left side and it re-draws it to a half-monitor size and you can then open another window with it re-drawing on the other half. Really efficient!

However, Dolphin seems to me a little less clunkier than Konqueror. Which is why I am trying out Dolphin as an ftp agent. I find it (Dolphin) still a little temperamental and keep going back to Konqueror though. I do my file managing with Dolphin though. Mdv2010.1 KDE4.5.0.

Why are we even talking about removing Konqueror?? So many people use it as their default file manager and ftp client that removing it seems crazy. While I do agree that Konqueror is not the greatest web browser around and Rekonq is a much better choice for a pure Qt/KDE browser, I do not think we should be excluding Konqueror at all. Plus, Dolphin still requires certain parts of Konqueror to function correctly if I'm not mistaken.

While at first I found Dolphin rather weak in comparison to Konqueror, as far as file management went, it has improved over the last couple of years. Now, I actually prefer Dolphin over Konqueror when it comes to file management but I still use Konqueror for ftp or when I need a all in one kind of tool. If Konqueror could render web pages as well as Rekonq, Firefox, or Chromium I'd definitely use it as my default web browser.
