I like to think that konqueror is a shell. Once you know how it works, you 
need not lean too much new stuff when new components are added to it.
Its "problem" as I see it is that it woks differently from "what people 
knows". 

I don't think konqueror is a mess to mantain; in fact I think it has not 
changed that much in this release; however, the addition of ksvg, kpdf,  
fsview have increased its functionality.
