I use kwrite to edit config files or files owned by root and I use konqueror to navigate in folders that I do not have access or write permissions. So it is very handy to sux - from a user console, edit a file with kwrite, close kwrite and exit from root back to my user console. Same with konqueror.
I am sure there are other ways of doing the same things (I've tried joe, emacs and vi but find them too complex for simple tasks), but at my level this seems the most intuitive and the quickest. A quicker way might be to use mc. This has got to be one of the most useful apps for me. It has a file manager (2 panes), a very intuitive editor (much easier to use than vi), plus many more features. It is to Linux what Norton Commander was to DOS, but even better. It is faster
