But it beats the old Konqi any time. That one didn't have the + overlay, had no grouping, had no rating and tagging and the location bar was that old, stupid text-entry instead of a nice bar it is now. And there was no proper git or svn integration either. Face it, Dolphin can do lots of useful things Konqi couldn't. Bang, Konqi lost the feature shoot-out. Just like KMail does. And Konsole. And Gwenview. And Kate. And KWrite. Sorry, but KDE 3 doesn't match up to 4 in terms of features. The apps might not look as cluttered as but they have more functionality.
Here's the thing most people miss out. That total list of "features" you bragged about mean absolutely zero to me & others like me who still "cling" to KDE3 in our "foolishness". I ended all interest in playing with KDE4 a few versions back. Why should I have to do all kinds of work to get my desktop the way I like it when KDE3 "IS" how I like it?(and with KPersonalizer you can even turn off all the KDE3 bling in one easy step - which was something I had asked about to be ported to KDE4 - which I don't believe ever happened) I agree that these flame wars are pointless. Those of us who still prefer to use KDE3 get badgered about how we're stupid for missing out on on these new things that we can do with KDE4(of course, the fact that we don't have any interest in these "features" isn't relevant.) As this message said: "Ruediger Meier wrote: KD4 is terrible slow. Also all these useless background stuff (akonadi, nepomuk, mysql, knotify4, etc.) consumes a lot CPU which I want to use for other things or at least avoid to save energy. Don't need much desktop functionality but a snappy window manager." KDE3 runs as nice for me on my Celeron E1200 (@ 3.2Ghz with nVidia 6200) as it does on my Thinkpad 390X with a Neomagic 256XD 2.5MB video chip. Some of us like to make use of our older hardware in ways that we find productive.
