Most of us probably agree, on just about anything anybody says, that's why we 
are on this list. It should be better, but removing functionality is not in 
itself better. Consistancy is good. Microsoft tends to move all its stuff 
around between their versions and we all know how anoying that is (I do tech 
support, and after sb moves to eg XP they call a hundred times, where is 
this, where is that?). I for one do not care about OSX-simplicity as well, 
most power-users add all kind of extra programs to get what kde has from the 
start. That is why we do not use gnome, it looks better (IMHO), but I miss 
functionality. 
Cleaning up Konqueror is the easiest of all cleanups. It has profiles, why not 
add some extra profiles in the base-install? 
OSX-clean-without-anything-profile and an I-want-all-the-buttons-profile, and 
a couple of others, then make it a startup tip how to change profiles and 
most users should be able to easily change to their favourite layout.
