Then enable it? The first time you run KDE, it asks about the
capabilities of your box, so that slow boxes don't get too much eye
candy. However, if you don't run KDE, but just the separate tools, you
never get that wizard and are stuck with the defaults until you change
them.

I've had Konqueror *with* anti aliasing for I think at least two years
now.

Run kcontrol and from there enable font anti aliasing. If that doesn't
work, your Xft/fontconfig is broken.

So does Konqueror.

You should really try MS Windows then! I hear it's a GREAT way to make
your new hardware feel like a good old Pentium-II.

I kind of like the eyecandy. But feel free to configure your own colours
in the already mentioned kcontrol. Icon sets, even very boring ones, are
available on http://kde-look.org/.

By the way, there is MUCH more to hate about Opera than just the
interface. But I'll leave that for you to find out yourself.
