I disagree. I think most of the complainers simply don't like it, don't want 
it and are not really interested in improving it, and want their preference 
to be the standard. At least thats the tone I am getting here from the 
comments

In this case, while the concept is valid, in terms of this list I must repeat 
my statement above. And I do think there is arguing, at least on one side. 
The Dolphin fans so far are not calling for the removal of Konnqueror (or at 
least its non-webbrowsing components)
