Aha, you mean Trinity, the fork of KDE 3?

Yes, I know it.

There is a discussion in openSUSE whether to offer Trinity. They have
currently decided not to, for the following reasons:

[1] it's moribund with almost no code commits & major unfixed bugs open

[2] SUSE still supports KDE 3 on old versions of SLED. It has fixed
bugs still unfixed in TDE.

[3] Like Maté inherited a ton of code from GNOME 2 that's no longer
maintained, TDE inherits a ton of code from KDE 3. This all needs to
be maintained, because all its tooling has been superseded twice now,
first by KDE 4 and then that by KDE 5. There is not enough manpower to
do this.

It is active but it has few users or maintainers.

For me, I have not tried it, because I didn't personally like KDE 3.

I liked KDE 1.

KDE 2 I found was cluttered. Corel LinuxOS made it usable. I blogged
about this yesterday:

Xandros, the continuation of Corel, tried but didn't get far at taming
KDE 3. :-(

KDE 4 was beyond bloated into parody. KDE 5 is only a tiny bit better
but loses important functionality  -- e.g. a panel can't span 2
monitors any more.
