Less code, less disc-space= more bandwidth. Besides that, an application less 
to maintain. 
If konqueror handles the task as good as kfind then there's perhaps no reason 
to keep kfind. Why duplicate code? 
From a user perspective I think it's better to get used to one interface. Much 
less confusing.

Startup times? The question is if the win in startuptime is more worth than 
the things I wrote above.

My two cents,
Frans
