The GNOME development community has announced the official release of version 2.22 after six months of development. GNOME is an open-source desktop environment that supplies a complete user interface and an assortment of programs for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. GNOME 2.22 includes some important new architectural features and a handful of significant new programs. Among the most important enhancements in GNOME 2.22 are the GVFS virtual file system framework, which brings improved network transparency to GNOME desktop applications, and the PolicyKit framework, which provides improved support for secure privilege elevation.

If you are frustrated, it is better not to respond at all.
During the design phase of GIO, one of the KIO designers was around to give advice. Further, various things have been looked at. Including KIO and FUSE (+good look at what was bad about gnome-vfs).
I don't know for what reasons KIO wasn't chosen, but it wasn't just dismissed.
