well I think that it is not too much.
for example when I use dowload stuff fromo konqueror and put them in a folder I can just open a tab or make a window below my webpage and work on things I don't have to minimize konqueror and then open a file browser and then close it and go back to it. I like it when I have to review files or when I have to follow instruction into how to install a new program it is really helpfull.

Agree there. They've created a swiss army knife file manager and browser and it just hasn't really worked.
I disagree. Konqeror is probably one of the best Linux/*nix app out there. I miss it a lot when forced to use Windows (though I've heard that Directory Opus is pretty good).
The "bloat" can be controlled for various Konqueror profiles by the default configuration set by the distro makers. Personally, I love having the same application to browse pages, folders, ftp sites, zip archives, images, filesystems over SSH, etc. It is a very efficient app and the default profiles on Kubuntu are adequately streamlined.

Bloat should not need to be configured by default.
There is no getting away from the fact that having browser, file manager and other configuration settings in the same configuration dialogues in the same app is just not doable. You can't get around that with profiles.
People often misunderstand that having different apps from Konqueror components takes things away. It doesn't. Because you're using the same components it is possible to do any of those things in each of the different applications, but you'll have different ones tailored specifically to different functions.

Konqueror configuration is way over the top and it's feature after feature. KDE dont need alot of the stuff that they have already, never mind adding even more bloat.
Agree there. They've created a swiss army knife file manager and browser and it just hasn't really worked.
Look out for a separate Konqueror browser and file manager in KDE 4, based on the same common components, but designed as applications for each specific purpose.
i'm also applaude by KDE's conduct when invited by Gnome devs and the person turned out to be a spy, then slagged off gnome.
Hmmm. Whatever.
