Probably never. I think KDE is just too complicated at this point, with too many components and moving parts. I too very much enjoyed KDE 3: it was really performant on low-end hardware which I was using at the time, boring, and stable. But then KDE 4 happened — truly the Windows Vista moment of the Linux/FreeBSD desktop, and I ended up on a clunky setup built from separate smaller components which has been the most stable experience across all OSes (pretty much no issues or changes in my workflow in ~10 years). AFAIK they really had to rewrite it — ­Qt4 was just too different from the old version, and you couldn't simply port older applications without almost doing a full rewrite anyway. Still sad it had to go, and we haven't seen anything similar since. I am still yet to try the fork, though. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity
