Think of it as not one application, but multiple. It is a basic KDE 
technology, it is component in nature and be recombined to fit the users 
needs.

This is why I think Konqueror is extremely important to KDE, because it is at 
the heart of many KDE technologies(kio,kparts,etc). It is the centerpiece that 
ties them together to serve the user. If we can't make that useful and 
intuitive to the user, then our KDE technologies have failed, and the user 
might as well use dedicated applications such as Firefox and OpenOffice.
