Thanks for your insight, cbkihong.

One reason for me not to go with Konqueror is that I need something light for my old cheapo computer.
If it weren't for that I would probably use Konqueror (haven't checked Krusader yet; will do in a bit).

Someone else swore by Midnight Commander, but that looks to me like it is for advanced users (I'm not too familiar with the file system yet).
