There's another face to that coin, if I want to see both my task organization 
and my calendar, with only KOrganizer I can't. Luckily I use Zanshin for my 
tasks but otherwise the constant switching would make me nuts.

That's what you get when you try to be an application shell at the wrong level 
of abstraction.

If you want a single application to start, that's Kontact...

Which is the same amount of clicks than switching views in KOrganizer. It's 
just more discoverable and more homogeneous to the user.

Again, I don't think it has many users, period.

Please re-read me carefully: it's in fact limiting the user not empowering 
her.

I don't see why, currently you don't have a summary, you switch views 
*anyway*.
