--- Comment #6 from tcanabrava at kde.org ---
> 1. Dolphin hasn't developed for ten years. The cosmetic effects that make this file manager look pretty don't count.

$ git shortlog -sn --all --since 2010 
That shows more than 4.000 commits. hardly cosmetic as dolphin is mostly the
same visuals since ever.

> 2. Dolphin cannot search for files.

Use KFind, or, Please provide patches. Opensource is a compromise that
developers and users should work together and when one demands we need to
remind him that software is build via community contributions, noone is getting
paid to work on dolphin.

> 3. Dolphin is not able to work correctly with network folders.

Please provide patches. Dolphin received lots of patches for samba shares and
other network formats. But demanding is not how things are done, you can
either: Develop patches and send upstream, Pay a developer to provide patches
upstream, or use another file manager.

> 4. Dolphin is not able to remember general parameters for all folders

Please provide patches. Every software has bugs and we need more people
developing any software.If dolphin don't suit your needs, you also have
krusader, konqueror, or the ones from other DE's like thunar and files.

> 5. Dolphin is so strongly connected to KDE that it is impossible to painlessly replace it with another file manager.

It's not. I use thunar and Files on my day to day usage. You can also use
midnight commander, konqueror, krusader.

6. The only advantage of Dolphin over Nautilus is the...

Good, if nautilus serves you better, you are of course welcome to use nautilus,
there's no harm there. We KDE developers like and enjoy working with Gnome
developers.

> 7 Restoration of previously opened tabs.

Good that someone took the time to do the patch, question, was it you?

> 8  If the folder is being read, no operations can be performed. 

Please provide patches.

> 9. The file manager is the backbone of the operating system. The user will work with this program most of the time. But KDE does not pay enough attention to this most important program (for the GUi).

KDE doesn't pay, at all. All work is voluntary. Can you send patches?
