Yes, Konqueror's interface is a bit obfuscated. This is going to be looked at 
in the near future. Same with other programs such as KControl. 

Regarding speed, Konq loads quicker here than Firefox does. And as for the 
rendering engine... works fine here for me on all the sites I use. If not, 
Gecko has been ported to natively use the KDE/Qt widgets by Lars Knoll and 
Zack Rusin and can be used as the rendering engine for Konqueror. What more 
do you want? See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/14

As for xterms vs Konsole, read Aaron Seigo's blog about it at 
http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2004/10/konsole-vs-xterm-or-proof-that-kde-is.html

Now please stop spreading FUD about KDE.
