Please note that I do not plan to use KDE4 and thus any ported application would look alien on my desktop, which I prefer to avoid.
how many years do you think kde3 will be available (from you or elsewhere)?
Currently there is no upper limit as with any other software out there.
or do you plan to use kde5?
From what I learned about KDE5 it will include Plasma thus will not be good for me. Judging from the screenshots E17 is quite promising. Once there is no suitable desktop on Linux I will switch to Windows. Anyway I expect to be able to use KDE3 for years especially given the existence of Trinity and the fact KDE3 is supported in multiple other projects associated with nearly all major and not-so-major distributions. I am more confident for KDE3 than for KDE4 which will have to drop a significant part of itself with transition to Qt5 (due the fact the majority of KDE4 apps still use qt3support).
I loved kde3 and I'm not that fond of kde4, but use it anyway
