Really , what do people expect? I don't know about anyone else, but when I migrated to Linux, it was because I wanted software vendors to make decisions for me. I've always felt that surrendering personal choice is really the cornerstone of the Linux philosophy.
Have you ever thought to question why you seem to think "giving people what they're accustomed to" is not a legitimate value? If I want to use what I'm accusomed to, do you think that's wrong? Are you just looking out for what's best for me? But it's not just what I'm accustomed to, it's what I love, and what I've poured three years of creativity into customizing.
The more time that passes, the more confident I feel that KDE3 will be forked and maintained, because that's a law of Nature. Newton's third law, to be exact: for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. I'll do it if I have to, but I'm betting that someone competent will step up.
