That's part of the point. It's how _you_ see it. Your opinion, and your 
certainly welcome to have it. However, there are other people that use 
it and like it for what it does well.

In one e-mail you mention not moving files properly. I use it to 
move/copy files from one directory to another and from one computer to 
another all the time and never have the problem you mention [ 
8.04/3.5.10 ]. I open Dolphin, navigate to where I want to be, switch to 
split screen mode, navigate that to where I want it, and drag files from 
one side to the other.

You also mention being stuck in icon view. Mine isn't. I _think_ I used 
View > View Mode to set it to details. There's also a setting in the 
preferences to set Dolphin to remember each directories view settings so 
you can have different views for different directories.

I also like the fact that I can generally use Dolphin to open a terminal 
window already in the directory I want it in rather than having to 
navigate from the default opening point.

It's never to late to change. One _can_ teach an old dog a new trick.

Dolphin is _not_ perfect, but it does do some things extremely well. I 
_really_ got serious about moving to Linux just before Dolphin made it's 
appearance on the scene. I guess I started using Dolphin without to many 
pre-conceived notions. In a sense we have sort of grown up together.

AND, for those things that Dolphin doesn't do well there's Konqueror, 
the Swiss Army Knife of KDE.
