It loads really quick, it does everything I want now that it supports mouse gestures. I don't hear too much about that from any Opera users but mouse gestures to me is worth a ton of minor annoyances that Opera has had, most of which are now configurable anyways. Mouse gestures are so much quicker than even simple/common keyboard shortcuts, especially when you are say, reading and scrolling down with one hand and then say holding a beer in your other hand. Konqueror has great integration with my desktop and the mplayer plugin works great. 99% or more of sites I go to, Konqueror renders just fine. In my situation, why use anything else? I use Firefox and Opera when using a MS run computer.
