Well, I've found that Konqueror Very Often misrenders modern websites, but IMO it's probably the best all-around file manager I've used; very flexible due to splittable panes, kio slaves, etc. I do miss KDE's Image View, which I think is better than the one in Trinity's Konqueror, but otherwise, Konqueror rocks as a file manager.
