Look at the following screenshot (and this is just a beta), compare it to something like Evolution, and tell me what most users are going to like. http://www.kontact.org/pics/kontact1.png. You're obviously going to tell me something else, but you will know it to be true.
Okay I'm not the person you wanted to make tell lies, but I'll answer to you anyway. So Kontact has got all those nice icons and fluffy colors, so that's what you KDE people look for when you choose program no wonder why it's so "superior" in your eyes. How about usability, speed, features etc. instead of those spunky graphics so many people seem to worship?
Where is a file manager that is on a par with Konqueror? I have never found them, apart from cut-down spartan looking versions.
Well, on par with Konqueror? Let's see.. hmm.. no I don't know many as bad. Ever tried using a program that is really meant for managing files, not again some this-is-far-from-spartan-look-all-these-3d-effect<nobr>s<wbr></nobr> . Actually I don't use gnome or kde anymore when I found ROX desktop I have not looked back. Try ROX filer (and actually read the manual to find out what it can do), then come back and tell what's so file-managerish about konqueror.
