It certainly looks interesting.
In regards to KDE4 I think you need to be a bit more patient. They are working hard on KDE4, but the first major thing to do is to port KDE to Qt4. Before that is done, they can't really do much work on Plasma. I do believe the port to QT4 is well underway, but I will leave that up to the KDE developers (which I often see commenting here) to tell more about (I'm just a humble user :).

Yes, you're right, I've tried trunk - it doesn't work very well, but OK, that makes sense. And the mailinglists and commitlogs are full of activity. So things are progressing - while Gnome continues with small improvements, continuing to bear their legacy libraries, unable to re-arange them.

They plan to move various external library code into mainline GNOME libraries, and split along the lines of OS independent components (GTK), X Window specific, and GNOME specific (GNOME-VFS).

Sounds like another reason to use and develop for GNOME: not only in the ABI stable (i.e. doesn't need to follow the annual C++ changes), but the API hasn't changed in about five years.
It took GnuCash this long to port to the GNOME 2.0 platform. How many KDE applications are stuck in disrepair waiting to port to 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0?
[Ducks for cover... but seriously, I'm curious about this.]

In other words, KDE3 has been stable for quite some years.
