Well, then I guess I'm one of those four people.  :)  I love it.  It 
keeps passwords in a more secure format then if I left them in plain 
text or obfuscated text in the KMail and Kopete.  All my website 
passwords are in there, which is a huge plus because I'm not relying on 
the browser remembering them, and I don't use the same password 
everwhere.  Another big plus for me is sftp:// kio_slave usage.  I log 
in to several systems at work via sftp://user@host, and since I log in 
as a user other than me when I'm working on some other files, it's 
great that those passwords are remembered in a secure place.  And no, 
I'm not putting my public key in 30+ user's home dirs. :)

That's fine, I have no problem with people not using it.  But for me, 
it's a big plus, not a minus.
