I found KDE 4.0 a real disappointment, especially when I was really
looking forward to using it. I think it's currently lacking a lot of
what I liked about KDE 3.5.x.

Yes I think the previous problem with konqueror was the bewildering
range of options and views, many of which weren't that practical,
Dolphin fairs much better in that respect.

Seriously? I think it's just god awful. I find it slow to navigate
through and just plain awkward to use, I'm thankful they've left the
option in to switch to the classic menu system.

Doesn't seem too different from the old menus, frequently used apps etc
were stored at the top of the menu, and well I could always type a
program by name from konsole but then I had all my favourite apps on my
taskbar for one-click launching which sadly appears missing from KDE 4.
