I find the interface for Konqueror kludgey and annoying, to say nothing
of the fact that I pretty much *can't* stand KDE.  I haven't given
Seamonkey a try -- but I do know that I found its predecessor, the
Mozilla suite, thoroughly aggravating.  I hear things have improved at
least a little, though.
