Well, it's based on Konqueror or at least the engine in it, so I imagine it
has the same problems.

I hate Opera myself.  Whatever its merits, it is just broken and annoying
enough that I can't stand using it.

Konqueror lacks critical features, and I hate the whole idea of a WWW and file
browser being the same application.  A few changes and I could use it more.

It sucks to use bookmarks, because it mixes them all together.

There are other problems similar to that and otherwise related to the duality
of the program.

In general, I don't like heavy integration anyway.

First thing I do in Gnome and KDE is turn off all of the annoying "open in the
browser" crap.  I *HATE* double clicking a file and having it open in the file
browser.
