Yes... The impatience with nepomuk is kind of infuriating. It really takes a couple of years before something like that filters down to the applications. It's only this year, for instance, that Krita is integrating with nepomuk for image and resource tagging. But we're very happy with the ease of coding against nepomuk and will probably be using it more and more.

Two years for taking advantage of a major API change is indeed a rather short time; some vital POSIX/Linux API new features have taken a decade to become only somewhat adopted.

I guess that most people think that KDE is a monolithic project with a plan and a wilful management instead of being a somewhat loosely coupled ecosystem where subprojects largely go ahead at their own pace.
