Does anyone still use Konqueror primarily as a Web Browser?

Should Konqueror still be called a Web Browser?

Hi,

I just have a few minutes and wanted to start a discussion about something that has been bothering be for a long time now:
Whenever I'm about to start Konqueror via KRunner, it says "Konqeoror Web Browser"... ok... granted - you can browse the web with it. But how many users actually use it for this as Konquerors primary function?

Personally, I use Konqueror like this:
  1. Open Directory with a lot of different documents (and possibly subdirectories)
  2. Split View Left/Right
  3. Link Views
  4. Lock to Current Location on left view
  5. Quickly navigate between a lot of different documents

I don't know any other program that's even close to beeing as good as Konqueror when I have to switch between a lot of different stuff in different formats (pdf, images, markdown, offline html, etc..)... but have not used it for real web browsing for at least a decade!

So I'm in favour of making KRunner show "Konqueror Universal Document Viewer", recatagorizing it from a Network tool to Utilities and optimizing the UI on that type of task.

... any other thoughts?
