I agree. Konqueror is complex, but it is still available for those who love
it. Dolphin does not replace Konqueror, but it makes a nice addition that
replaces Konqueror _only_ as the default file managers for less advanced users
or users to whom file managers are not important. Personally, I use the file
manager only a couple of time a week (I kid you not) because all my data is
online (or on the desktop workspace). As time goes by, the local file system
might become less relevant because of the Web.
