No, KDevelop with these plugins will not equal Quanta3. Instead they probably 
aim (for now?) at a more advanced user base, i.e. those who write mostly PHP 
and don't need some fancy GUI to click together some HTML stuff.

If Amaya or Bluefish fit your needs better, try them instead.

Just like KDevelop is (for now?) in extragear, so will these plugins be 
eventually. I'll release them together with the other plugins. Distro 
packagers should then create easy-to-install packages for you, just like with 
KDevelop and the PHP plugin.

I'd rather say: There are no Quanta+ developers (sadly!) and we KDevelop devs 
try to do our best to improve what we have. Note that most of us don't have a 
need for Webdevelopment related things. Niko and me only invest time on a few 
things which we personally would use (i.e. advanced language support). Most of 
the old Quanta+ features don't appeal to us, hence we don't spend time on 
bringing them back to live.

Anyhow, I suggest at least trying KDevelop for PHP development, before you 
look elsewhere.
