Neither do I. Useless piece of ****. There was no reason for it; Konq was quite adequate.
"****" is too strong, IMO. if i hadn't been using konqueror for a while already, i might have liked dolphin. it's a little better at displaying file info / metadata, but lacks many other features i've come to depend on.
There's one "feature" in Dolphin I've experienced. In 3.x, when I plugged in a USB drive, a window opened as expected and when I was done, I'd hit a bookmark that would take me to "My Computer", where I could right click on the USB drive to safely remove it. With KDE 4, Dolphin opens, but I then have to open Konqueror to get to My Computer to unmount the drive. With KDE 4, they took a useful feature and broke it, like so many others.
Why the long face? The KDE breaking-useful-features team are far less prodcutive than you think. It's more probable that you simply don't have the Places panel displayed, which shows all the plugged in drives and lets you unmount them on right click, is this the case? View->Panels->Places or F9 to show Places again. Alternatively you can click the removable devices icon in the system tray (only visible when something removable is present) and then click the eject button to the right of the usb drive.
