    *sigh*

    It troubles me to see first Konqueror, and now Eazel chasing the whole windoze file management nightmare.

    KFM was elegant, easy to configure, and every directory or object kept track of its own settings. With konqueror, we lost a lot of that as it became more of an application than a file manager.

    Sometimes simplicity is a good thing. Both KDE and Gnome are losing sight of that. Instead of having a slick, elegant filemanager that seamlessly integrates several other parts of the environment, we are ending up with a big ugly mess that isn't an efficient way to work.

    Just my former OS/2 WPS view rearing its ugly head again. The developers creating these environments could learn a lot by reading this.
