Konqueror, possibly my favorite piece of software, is a second rate browser.  
Not third of fourth fate, but not first rate either.  It just doesn't work on 
a lot of web sites many of us need — with me, for instance, my bank.

But being a tabbed browser with a file manager an ftp client, an audio cd 
browser, network browser, image browser, file viewer, etc. is what makes it 
first rate software.  The service menus are wonderful, and the different file 
manger view fantastic.  The integration of the file manager with the internet 
and network apps makes file management seemless, no matter where the file 
resides.

I've heard the promises of Dolphin's improvement, but I try it whenever there 
are significant KDE4 updates, and still no better than nautilus, a third or 
fourth rate file manager.

In any case, I think splitting the local file manger from the network app is a 
step back — not into the future unless your view of the future is bleakness.
