+title: Catering to the Lowest Common Denominator
+---
+
+<p>The <a href="http://kde.org/">KDE</a> team is working on a Dolphin, a new next-generation file
+manager.  How many next-generation file managers do we need, anyway?
+They still haven't finished fixing the broken ones from the last
+generation.  I just read
+<a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070405-afirst-look-at-dolphin-the-kde-4-file-manager.html">this Ars Technica preview</a> of Dolphin, which aptly states:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>In many respects, Dolphin is reminiscent of the Nautilus file browser
+  from the GNOME desktop environment.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Nautilus's defining characteristic has always been the uncanny ability
+to waste a colossal amount of screen real estate to convey irrelevant or
+redundant information.  Believe it or not, some of the things <a href="http://pablotron.org/reviews/nautilus-PR2/" title="2001 review of the Nautilus file manager.">I wrote
+about in 2001</a> still haven't been
+fixed.  </p>
+
+<p>But hey, everything old is new again, right?  Check out the
+awesomely efficient use of screen space in this Dolphin picture:</p>
