Konqueror is/was the "Swiss Army Knife" of KDE. And, you know how people 
love their Swiss Army Knife. Try to take it away from them, or change 
it, and they will fight you.

Being fairly new to Linux/KDE [  just  couple years now ] I was 
originally struck with how much Konqueror "looked" like Windows Explorer 
in file manager mode. [ I don't know which came first, Konqueror or 
Explorer but have my suspicions ] When Dolphin first showed up on my 
desktop I was kind of wondering why, but soon learned that for a light 
weight file manager it does it's job quite well. I like it as well. I 
can do some things intuitively in Dolphin that I didn't see how to do in 
Konqueror.

I use 8.04/3.5.10 so don't know much about Dolphin and Konqueror in 4.1 
but I can't recall ever having Dolphin having an issue. Perhaps I just 
haven't pushed it hard enough yet.
