Re: god please no

Dolphin and konq share things like icon views, and so forth. So improvements to Dolphin are also improving konq. Which is a good thing, because Dolphin, while a very smooth file manager, just does not have the power user functionality that I've come to rely on from konq. Things like splitting panes and then doing drag and drop from an ftp site to my server via fish, and so forth.

So, Dolphin will improve konq. and provide an easier to use file manager for more basic user needs. Analogous to how kwrite is a simplified kate, with reused components... (I know it's not a 1:1 analogy, but it's simple enough)

So it's all good. :)
