Well, writing a good file-management view also isn't trivial ;)

There's a few problems I have with the current implementation:
1. Distracting animations(slow on my machine)
2. No multi-selection
3. No file-management implemented, like "delete file" etc.
4. When I push the "create folder" button, kdevelop crashes
5. No multi-selection
6. No file tree
7. Not respecting system-wide settings like single/multi click

With a dolphin part, we would instantly have all that and more.

Well what's our options? I think a good integrated file-manager is worth the 
added dependency. The other option would be using the file-manager we have 
now as a simple fallback, then we'd just need to fix the few bugs, and when 
someone doesn't like the behavior or wants more features, we can tell him to 
get dolphin.
