That's nonsense.
Everyone dies.

It's a basement flat, actually! So there.
And I'm a student, what's your excuse?
"ArK does not embed into Dolphin or Konqueror in 4.1"
it doesn't embed into Dolphin, no, because that's not Dolphin's design goal. i don't have 4.1 nearby to test this on, but in 4.2 you can navigate directly into tarballs seamlessly in Konqueror.
i'm curious, what exactly is dolphin's design goal(s) then?
i assumed it was meant to replace the file-browsing capabilities of konqueror; indeed konqueror is now labeled specifically as "Web Browser" and Dolphin as "File Manager" in my K menu.
(Using kubuntu intrepid here, kde 4.1.3)
oh, and i can confirm that konqueror in 4.1(.3) does have the desired behaviour of seamlessly browsing archives and opening files etc. although it doesn't try to open pdfs inside itself like it did with kpdf in 3.x (a good thing), i realise there is probably some configuration for this hidden somewhere.
"3.5 derived a lot of its power from a very solid, well refined OLE framework, and 4.1 has yet to even approach that"
the "OLE framework" in KDE is called KParts, and the infrastructure hasn't changed one bit between KDE3 and KDE4.
i've noticed problems with ole in kde 4.1 also, dragging and dropping no longer seems to work in many cases - but i think this is more a problem with the new applications not yet fully implementing support for it, rather than a problem with the underlying framework.
i am eagerly awaiting the next amarok 2.x release, because as other posters have pointed out, 2.0 is a bit of a step backwards in terms of functionality.
don't take this post as a complaint, i think it's great what the kde team are doing. i wouldn't want it any other way
oh, and if you're tempted to say "they should have just held 2.0 until January, then", don't bother: making releases from the code repository is an absolutely requirement to keep open source projects moving, and one of the downsides of that is that often a first release of a new series isn't what a consumer-grade user is going to what to cut their teeth on. that's why there is another step in row, e.g. distributions. not that they seem to always be doing their users the best favours lately in that regard.
