Yoy may be right, I'm quite sure most of Konqueror users are also KDE users but still that does not mean there is "nothing" in Linux-world besides Firefox, that's not simply true.
I don't get where all this stuff about "KDE doing more with less" is coming from. When I see GNOME I see a polished desktop that I'd actually give my friends and family and not feel embarassed.
It comes from many users who miss KDE integration and features in Gnome, as simple as that.
Perhaps you've been bitch slapped enough by now, but someone who just found/. a couple years ago doesn't need to come around telling *US* what open source is about. That took serious cajones.
It's spelled 'cojones';)
Of course. In real life, things are not so simple. But at least is Free Software, given enough time and resources things can be improved by anyone. Don't expect miracles though.
I'm the parent poster, I was not logged in. I completely agree with you, my message was in part irony. Of course they're not supporting the better desktop but the one they fit them most. It's a shame, but this is starting to look more and more like one of those frequent times where the most advanced product is not the one massively used becaused they're pushing another with better marketing and more resources.

Onley half-joke, half-serious, as good hackers do. When he is totally serious he admits Linux is still a few years away from mainstream desktop.

Better than nothing? Konqueror is now good enough most of the time, and faster and lighter than both Mozilla and Firefox.
I also use Konqueror, but it's far more usable combined with http://www.privoxy.org/ ;)

Of course, quality is measured by sheer numbers. That's why we all use Windows, right?
