#1 In 3.5 you could go to the KDE Control Center and find a nice structured menu of all settings in KDE. Everything was there with only a few tiny omissions.
In KDE4.3 I wander aimlessly trying to find how and where to set these things. Fonts, colors, sounds, peripherals, samba shares, local network browsing... I could go on and on, but you get the point. These things are now hidden under various "cashews" and assorted places. Its kind of a mess. It needs consolidation again.
All those things that you mention are in System Settings. You might feel more comfortable with the Tree View as opposed to the Mac OS-X icon view in System Settings. If there is a specific setting that you feel should be in System Settings, please tell me which specific setting that is and I will file it.
#2 Also as the system comes, until considerable configuration is performed, you can get so little on the screen that you right away wish you had a 30 inch monitor. Why is everything so fricken big? Huge fonts huge icons, Dolphin takes vast areas of real estate to show very few files.
People buy big screens to fit more on them. Not to have icons the size of snow balls.
Can't there be a Theme named "Please don't waste my screen space" which which allows compact presentation?
Mostly grown-ups use KDE. They don't need icon view in Dolphin to be the default. We know how to read.
It would be fine if this configuration was ease, but see #2 above.

#3 Was it really necessary to remove Kong Filemanager mode and replace it with a repackaged Dolphin just to prevent people from seeing how much more useful the old Kong was than the new Dolphin?
No, it was not necessary and not done. Konqueror is still a KDE file manager, it is just no longer the default file manager.
Where are the Print System Browser, the Bluetooth Browser, the Audio CD Browser, that all fit under the Services tab?

Those tiny little Pluses in Dolphin that you need to click to expand a directory --- Can't they be bigger? Shouldn't they be bigger?
Please send to me a screenshot, on my system they look to be a reasonable size.
They were small in kde 3 too, but I would have expected some improvement.
Did you file an issue? If not, then that expectation is ill-founded! I only say that to demonstrate that it is up to us, the users, to file enhancement requests because the devs code features and usability as they see fit.
