Kde on the other hand comes with konqueror which is much better for browsing, file management(dual panes), can read man pages, use locate for instant search.

KDE, by default uses more resources than GNOME. Both can be tweaked to use lower reosurces. And both can be tweaked to have more functionalities.
For slow PC's running KDE will be even more difficult. For slow PC's there are Window Managers that come in handy as they consume less resources.
You can use nautilius to read man pages. With beagle, there is a nice GTK based search.
GNOME is a really good software. It is not at all horrible. It's just that you are biased. I believe both KDE and GNOME are eually good.
For lower resources, both DE's are a bit of trouble, but that's where WM's like XFCE, Enlightenment come in. They are feature rich, easy to learn and low on resources.
Whatever can be done on KDE can be equally well done in GNOME, and even on console, if you are good enough.
And please stop having KDE v/s GNOME war here.
