Well:
- corner widgets can be optional (and I don't mind if they aren't shown 
by default)
- I consider myself a power user
- I use the mouse with konsole, after all I don't run the terminal 
fullscreen, but using a graphical desktop environment where the mouse is 
often used
- now to open a new tab or close one (or reorder), I have to work either 
with keyboard or navigate through menus :(
- this takes aways functionality that was there before, IIRC you said in 
a mail you want all konsole's features in KDE4 that were in KDE3.

But at least it works in all applications using it, and once you 
discover, it is very nice and easy to do: grab and move.
