   KDE used to offer Konqueror as their all-singing, all-dancing   
   universal browser for files, websites, man pages -- just about   
   everything. And it still does: just give it a suitable URL, and   
   it will figure out what to do.   
      
   But it seems users want a conventional file manager, like they’re   
   accustomed to on other GUIs, and they consider the extra functionality   
   to be a bug somehow, and not a feature. So the KDE folks had to oblige   
   with Dolphin.
