I have been doing a bit of reading to try to understand TDE a little.

I read that the team now maintain QT3 which is otherwise deprecated.

AFAIK, most developers would think so. Qt 3.3 was released in 2004, Qt 4 was first released in 2005 and has been officially been unsupported since 2015[1]. There has been some discussion about porting TDE to Qt 4 on this list before.

Not quite right what I said here, sorry. I just read the FAQ on http://trinitydesktop.org/faq/ There's a lot more information about Qt3 and its relation to TDE, and its at first hand from the developers and maintainers of TDE and (also) Qt3.

When you go embedded, you'll most likely not use QT4 or GTK3 + GNOME :-)

I staid with KDE4 aka TDE not because of QT3, but because the code is stable. From my experience QT3 lacks a lot of modern functionality and compared to QT5 it is much harder to do things, however after cleaning basic bugs from TDE, I would not replace it for anything else. It is light and stable and provides (mostly) all I need. I hope the rest of the community shares the same opinion. As of other systems based on QT3 we discussed recently the Q4OS, but I am not aware who is using what.

If you mean "selling enduser devices in numbers bigger than 1k units/month", I don't know of any. On the other hand, I don't know of anybody building on KDE4 or GNOME either.
