FWIW that's precisely the reason why I use konqueror - it displays 
just about any and all info I could ever need. I often have to work 
with a local text file, a .pdf, a web page and the contents of a .tgz 
all at the same time. With konqueror I can open them all in the same 
app, one per tab, instead of in four apps. If I need a quick 'n dirty 
terminal I can get one at the bottom of the window with F9.

Long ago I stopped looking at konqueror as a browser, or a file 
manager. Everything is a file, even remote streams of data are files, 
so konqueror is the tool to navigate to where the file is and a way 
to open the file and look inside it. I don't have to run konqueror, I 
can delete it and leave the rest of KDE intact if I choose.
