Just because Dolphin is being rewritten using itemviews-ng and QGraphics* doesn't mean that it's heading towards the QML area. As others have mentioned, full-blown applications like this do not make sense, but lighter ones do (like the phonon thingy). Especially given all that Dolphin has to manage (as mentioned, treeviews, column views, preview display & generation, nepomuk data, tooltips filled with that data)..etc. and dragging. Full dragging support doesn't exist nicely out of the box with QML, which is a huge oversight imho. QML is great for certain uses with applications that do not have sophisticated requirements. For those that do, lets not try to cram QML down everyone's throat just because it ends world hunger, just apply it where it fits the niche nicely ;-p -- Shaun Reich, KDE Software Developer (kde.org)
