If I like Konq's file browser functionality, and I like Konq's web browser functionality, why do I have to pick only one?
That seems a bit like saying that I can use a spoon for eating soup, or for eating breakfast cereal, but I can only choose one. If I choose to eat cereal with the spoon, then I have to use chopsticks or a fork for the soup.
A more appropriate metaphor would be: One ought not use the same tub of water for cooking, bathing, cleaning the floor and bathroom, etc. Better to have separate tubs. Or maybe others are not so fastidious as myself?
Sorry, I don't see why that is a better analogy.
Is it okay to use Konq to look at web pages (html files) on your local drive?
It works fine for that, as long as the HTML is ancient. Don't expect HTML5 and/or CSS3 to work correctly; the rendering engine doesn't understand that.
