   Konqueror is on its way out.  Dolphin has become the default file   
   manager in Plasma 5, and Konqueror's web browser code is also no longer   
   being developed.  The KDE team plans on dropping it altogether in the   
   near future.   
      
   It's a pity ─ I too liked Konqueror, and especially for FTP ─ but that's   
   how it is. :-/

   I too am a KNode fan ─ I've been using it ever since I first started   
   posting on Usenet, now 17 years ago ─ but KNode was never fully ported   
   to Qt4, so it still has dependencies on Qt3, and with Qt5 now being   
   mainstream and even Qt4 no longer being maintained, the KNode developer   
   has lost interest in the project.   
      
   By consequence, KNode is now effectively broken.  Most distributions   
   with an up-to-date Plasma desktop no longer offer KNode in their   
   repositories.  This is one of the reasons why I'm still sticking to   
   Plasma 4 for now.   
      
   Another crying shame. :-/
