When Dolphin came with KDE 3.5.9 I had used Konquerer for a long while.  It is 
about the best file manager I've had available to me.  It's also very useful 
as a web browser.

When Dolphin came along and the KDE people made it the default for file 
management I found it limited and limiting, with little of the capability 
Konq has.

As a result, I uninstalled it.

Plain and simple.
