OK, now I have your attention. :) I want to add that question to our upcoming FAQ. Would
some of you devs answer this question?
I'll consolidate the answers for the FAQ.
Thanks!

Nobody wants to throw in their two pennies/euros with this FAQ question?

I'm not exactly a developer, but here's my suggestion for an answer:
Qt3 was dropped by the original development team. Whilst the updates from Team TDE are
minimal, and whilst Qt3 is a bit dated, it is still a viable development platform.
Plans are under way to (eventually) upgrade TDE to Qt4 via the TQt Interface. TQt
Interface will act as a way to upgrade to each new version of Qt without having to recode
the whole of TDE.

Qt3 is a toolkit, nothing more. If a toolkit works
correctly with the
latest distributions and already contains the features needed for the
applications built on it, there is no reason to "upgrade" to a completely
different toolkit that is missing a number of those features (Qt4).
Remember that KDE3.5.10 is considered obsolete, yet many have seen its
successor (KDE 4.0) as inferior. The definition of obsolete varies in the
FOSS community based on who is applying the term. ;-)

Actually at this moment I see no reason to port TDE to Qt4. Because Qt3 is
under our control, we can enhance it in any way we want. For example, dbus
support can be integraded directly into Qt3.
