Around 3 weeks ago, I downloaded the 2nd beta of KDE 3.2 from their FTP site. I've been using this release every day since then. The purpose of my writing this piece is not to highlight KDE 3.2's new features and applications - read the Changelog at KDE's site for that - but to give you a complete picture of how it measures up to its previous versions in terms of everyday use. Does it make me more productive? Is the command line more efficient yet? Or, even better, does it make me use the command line more effectively? Read on...

It is the single thing that makes me not like KDE over any other. I can't stand it. I've not used it since 3.0 but it's just such a decrepit representation of a file browser and I do not understand why they had to follow suite after Windows with the combining the web browsing functionality into the file browser. Hell, it doesn't even do it as 'well' as Windows/Internet Explorer does and I hate IE.
To be honest, file/system browsers in general are really poor imo in Linux. I prefer the look and of Gnome, and a lot of the design ideas of it but Nautilus is a disaster too, although a more cleanly presented disaster than Konqueror.
C'mon guys, someone produce a nice simple browser that does the job well without making you feel like you need a degree to use it, or need to learn to work around it's design ideas.
