I feel the same. A lot of big projects fell by way side over time for various reasons. Goes with the nature of experiments, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

k3b - died with the cd-rom

calligra office - creation of LibreOffice stole the thunder

konqueror - maintaining a secure browser that isn't a fork of chrome is a tall ask these days

amarok / kmail - rewrite lost features, introduced bugs, and many existing alternatives filled the gap

That said there are still a lot of good ones still there that continue to improve every day. Kate, dolphin, KDE connect, etc.

FTFY

Kmail worked great for years then one update akondai would no longer sync and that was the end of it.
