| I disagree, beginners would have no trouble with Koqueror. They'll just ignore most of its features. on the other hand dolphin is much faster |

yeah right, I'll go tell my 9 and 7 year old.
They have both FF and Konq installed on their respective system and both choose to use konq exclusively.

And this has nothing to do with them seeing you use konq?
Nothing to do with konq's opening links (mail, etc) by default in your desktop environment? Let me take a wild guess on this on, it's KDE.
Oh, by the way we're talking about a file manager here, not a web browser. And konqueror, for the record, is still going to
a) be around AND
b) be doing both.

It doesn't matter why they use it, the fact that they _can_ use it says plenty.
You don't have to cripple things to make them easy

I live in a famaly of permement beginners, and I've studied their software habits.
What they don't understand they ignore* meaning functionality cannot hurt them unless it bloats the program or introduces a security risk.
* There is one exception, if the computer asks them a question, something like this is the first time you've used this program, please custiomise it. This can confuse them and then they ask me for help.

I don't live in a family of beginners. I won't pretend to be a studier of software habits. I have made a few observations on my short time here on planet earth with respect to people and computer programs.
a) People don't like change
b) People like simple interfaces
However, if an interface is changed to be simpler then
c) People don't like simple interfaces if it requires them to change how they work.
Boggles my mind. The thing with dolphin being available is that "people" in group A will be happy since they can keep on using konq; people in group B will be happy since they get to use something simpler, and the rest of you in group C will be happy as you get to complain about something.
Then you'll actually be even happier when you start using the apps and settle into groups A or B again. There'll even be a rare few who will, astonishingly, settle into groups A and B!
i.e. switch to Dolphin and then not want to change.
