Yes.

I read about some Plasma / KDE developers wanting to go FUSE way tough, 
cause KIO is Plasma/KDE only and other applications like LibreOffice do 
not understand it.

In the end it is all about non blocking I/O on network filesystems.

Also: Is there an NFS kio slave? I think there is only a CIFS one. In 
addition to File in shell (fish://) or SFTP (sftp://) and all the other 
non traditional network filesystem ones.

Thanks,
