thank you for your arguments pro dolphin, for me after using it for more
than a month it proved to be _stupid_ as I said.
So if it works for you I'm glad for you, for me it doesn't.

The thing with the split view is new to me, I admit, but any way I still do
not agree that someone should decide to set it be my default file manager
without asking me, above all in a distro version (kde3.5.9) that has been
working fine with konqueror. I wouldn't be _rude_ if it has happened in
kde4.

This is mostly what makes me angry.
