Who did, and Why? what is the vested interest or is it a
vendetta?? Who made the decision? does this apply to
[K]ubuntu only?
Why has someone deliberately *broken* konqueror in order to
try to force me to use something that I do not and will
never use, i.e. Dolphin.? IMO it is a horrible piece of
crap.

Probably because Microsoft separated Internet Explorer from Windows
Explorer. Got to follow the leader, you know!
Note: I love KDE and I'm rather dedicated to the software. However, I
see many arbitrary decisions, such as this one, that seem to follow
similar arbitrary decisions from MS. Guess how I feel about that?

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Don't get upset - it will be what it is.
I too hope Konqueror is not cut off at the knees, it's truly the "killer app"
in my opinion. Last I read about it, it was mentioned that it's codebase has
become too old to properly maintain (the horror) and Dolphin just gathered
momentum. I hope they apply some KDE 4 love to Konqy because I don't know if
I can live without it.

I also noted that similarity, but it's always seemed a natural one to me. I
find 'browsing' to be an online/offline concept and Konqueror has taken it to
sublime levels. I think it was less "copy MS" and more "this is just obvious"
and I hope it sticks around.
One could also point-out that distro's like Kubuntu come out with an office
suit, a browser, email, news, etc. and are thus as guilty as MS in the
whole "swamp" the competition game, but it's not the same playing field.

Yeah, normally I would have run it and tested it in beta had I been able to
use it more proficiently, but the problem for me was that even as a beta
tester I required it to be more usable than it was at that stage.
So in my opinion there were probably a lot of potential beta testers that were
turned off from running it due to frustration that at the beta stage it was
alpha or pre-alpha quality.

I can quite easily live without it, but I wished the decision has been
to use Krusader rather than Dolphin in KDE 4. THAT I can't live
without.....

well I think the key is that I and many others will just have to wait
for I assume 4.0.1 even. There are just too many bugs, and worst of all
they took out konqueror. I think that KDE4 will be wonderful when the
.0.1 release comes out.

Well, when it comes to file management, it is hard to beat our old standby,
and one of the first things I install after first boot, is mc, aka Midnight
Commander. A pretty face? No, but it Just Works(TM).
