A guy using kde 3.1 (or older) who lost some files, many of the recommended 
alternatives are no longer in development.

A guy who loves konqueror 3.3, though he hated previous versions.  The post is 
primarily why he likes konqueror.

This is a wishlist for Thunar (the lame xfce file manager).  If you want to 
get anything interesting done in xfce, you have to use nautilus, and then you 
are using gnome, not xfce.  The thread was flagged by google because there 
was a comment by a guy who didn't like konqueror thumbnails.

A guy who prefers windows 95 explorer to konqueror in 2004.  Take it for what 
it's worth.

This is a bug report that merely states:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95750        
Summary: konqueror worst file manager ever created
Status: UNCONFIRMED


I have, myself, made the mistake of confusing google hit quantity as support 
for a proposition, without actually reading the cited pages.

When I read posts from this list and others, I take into account, the quality 
and insightfulness of the post itself, i.e. was it well thought out?  Does it 
make sense?  Who posts it, i.e. is it someone whose posts I have read before 
and trust (or not)?  What is my own experience?

You really don't get the last the "who" from googling.
