Quanta is (or better was) an community developed Open Souce Project.
The maintainers
and developers of Quanta 3 stopped contributing and sadly noone was found
who would continue. This was defenitely not a "decision" by a "KDE-Team".
The plan was to create Quanta4 on the same base as KDevelop4 - as both are IDEs.
The good thing: some work was done. There is eg. a stable php language support
plugin for KDevplatform (works with KDevelop4 and Quanta4). Many other plugins
exist like ruby, css, html/xml, xdebug etc. but none of those had a
stable release.
