Well, spank the guy that gave you that idea

konqueror is not going to change in something different, you can still use it like you do in kde 3.5

I talked about this with many people at Russian forums and all sayed the same. I afraid that you can loose lots of users. Is it too hard not to cut Konqurer?

nobody is cutting konqueror, only change is that dolphin is the default filemanager. If you want another default filemanager (like konqueror) you can tell your kde-desktop to do so.

Just don't do anything and everything will be fine. Linux/UNIX is a place where you must have a freedom of choice!

Wrong assumption

But anyway: konqueror will stay as it is: a filemanager, webbrowser, documentviewer.

I honestly believe that Konqueror would better suit me if it were a shell for multiple applications rather than just a file manager / web browser with plugins for document viewing. You know, somewhat like Fluxbox with window grouping.

I believe this would also be better because while file browsing and web browsing have similar commands, there are differences in the way that they're used that could be specialized, as well as simplified, by using single applications.

i think window grouping should be implemented in kwin.
