Ok, not totally true:

QFileDialog is now async, network transparent and URL based, and it's possible
to add dynamically network protocol implementations (I only tested with ftp but
you can add every protocol). And QFileDialog has preview modes. I don't know
what you mean by flexible, but QFileDialog has following things, which
KFileDialog doesn't have
- Drag'n'Drop (copy/move)
- in-place renaming
- deleting of files

Also it has a mode where you can select multiple files and get a list of them
back, I don't know if KFileDialog has this.
