The reason that KDE 4 and GNOME 3 are tragedies is that the KDE 3 ecosystem is way too big to replace. Hundreds of developers worked for years to build KDE 2.x and 3.x.
We have the source code for KDE 3.5, it's just not practical to maintain it with the resources and manpower available outside the project.
If it's not practical to merely maintain existing code, I'm not sure I have words for how hard it would be to create a viable replacement. Mind-boggling. Stupendous. Impossible.
