I'm not really happy that the new view-engine in Dolphin is announced as "fancy": The main reason to create a new engine was to improve the performance and to fix issues that could not been fixed with the old view-engine. Some background information about this is given at http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2011/08/intro ... in-20.html

The fact that the new engine is fast enough to provide visual improvements is more or less a "side effect". So to answer your question directly: The new view-engine has been written to be able to fix long standing problems like e.g. clipped filenames or a bad performance.

Highlights of 4.8 include:

Qt Quick in Plasma Workspaces -- Qt Quick is making its way into the Plasma Workspaces. The new Plasma Components provide a standardized API implementation of widgets with native Plasma Look and Feel. The device notifier widget has been ported using these components and is now written in pure QML. KWin's window switcher is now also QML-based, paving the way for newly designed window switchers.

Dolphin's file view has been rewritten for better performance, scalability and more attractive visual appearance.

KSecretService optionally enables shared password storage, making your saved passwords available to many other applications, leading to a more secure system and better integration of non-KDE apps into the Plasma Workspaces and KDE apps into non-Plasma workspaces.

Many performance improvements and bugfixes improve the overall user experience, making the KDE Applications and Workspaces more productive and fun to use than ever before.
