In the transition from KDE 3 to KDE 4, a new file manager, Dolphin, was often discussed and now officially moved to the base part of KDE. "I just stumbled over this message saying that the file manager Dolphin is now part of kdebase (of KDE 4): 'Moving Dolphin to kdebase, as discussed with Peter and others. The big plan is: Dolphin will become the default file manager (kicker buttons and file:/ links bring it up).' The question remains what now happens with Konqueror - keep in mind that one of the goals of KDE 4 was to only keep one app for each task inside the base packages. But with Dolphin as the potentially new file manager and Webkit as the new browser we may see Konqueror vanish."

As long as I can keep on using Konqueror as long as dolphin has no multi column view.
That view is the one I use most of the time as I don't like the larger icon views, and the detailed view just gives me unnecessary info.
Splitting the functionality of filebrowser and web browser is a good idea though as it could give the same trouble Windows has with IE and explorer.

It feels like a gnome app, konqueror may look a mess sometimes, but you can tweak it.
