+Why are we even talking about removing Konqueror??  So many people use 
+it as their default file manager and ftp client that removing it seems 
+crazy.  While I do agree that Konqueror is not the greatest web browser 
+around and Rekonq is a much better choice for a pure Qt/KDE browser, I 
+do not think we should be excluding Konqueror at all.  Plus, Dolphin 
+still requires certain parts of Konqueror to function correctly if I'm 
+not mistaken.
+
+While at first I found Dolphin rather weak in comparison to Konqueror, 
+as far as file management went, it has improved over the last couple of 
+years.  Now, I actually prefer Dolphin over Konqueror when it comes to 
+file management but I still use Konqueror for ftp or when I need a all 
+in one kind of tool.  If Konqueror could render web pages as well as 
+Rekonq, Firefox, or Chromium I'd definitely use it as my default web 
+browser.
