The only thing I know about Dolphin are screenshots making it look roughly like Gimp's load/save boxes (I said roughly...), with the path as buttons and things like that.
I just wanted to say that personnaly, I absolutely hate this stuff and that since Gimp has put it in, it takes thrice as much time to just load or save a file than before. Being unable to cut/paste a path using the good X11 middle button is something I'm really furious against.
For the same reason, the full tree on the right side is incredibly more efficient than hovering over a directory name to see the other subdirectories : I can visualize the full tree by just rolling the wheel of my mouse and quickly find directories I've been searching for. Partial views make it a lot more complicated to do so.
And as a matter of fact, Konqueror being a file manager and a browser is absolutely perfect for me and a great idea, in particular ssh, telnet and ftp accesses. I miss it so much on other systems where I need to fire several apps to do the same.
There are things that need to be changed, I suppose, for KDE 4, but the Konqueror concept is not one IMHO.
