I concur. The only (and still vividly living) hope is that it still evolves. 
Perhaps, 4.5 will be as good as 3.5 was back at its introduction. And I 
intend to keep 3.5 running for as long as possible.

The only thing I really don’t like about Okular is its icon bar on the left. 
Even though the icons can be shrinked and the text hidden, that bar is still 
a waste of space. On the bright side, Okular’s rendering is better than 
KPDF’s (for instance antialiasing), and it supports other document types like 
CDR.

The one you get when you open Konqueror’s bookmarks menu and select Edit (or 
Manage, whatever it’s called in the English localisation) bookmarks.

Unfortunately, Thunar is as simple as Nautilus (or even more basic). They 
don’t nearly come close to Konqueror 3. Nothing else does (of course apart 
from Commander-style file managers like Krusader). And I don’t mean 
functionality only, but also Qt’s efficient use of screen space, compared to 
GTK.
