Sure but compared to all the rants about KDE 4.0 during its launch, there isn't much talk about the fork. I have a alert set on media reports on it and there has barely been any. Probably it has as much users as Fluxbox. Reasonably successful but isn't competing with KDE 4.x in any way.
I imagine that Trinity would have gotten a ton of traction if it had been available (or more widely known, if it was available) during the "early days" of KDE 4.
From my perspective, KDE 4 reached feature parity with 3.5 when KDE
4.4 brought back the middle-click window list. Others will obviously have different perspectives, but most KDE 3.5 "refugees" with whom I've spoken seem to have become fairly satisfied with KDE 4 around that time.
KDE 4.4 was released in February, 2010, 2 months before Trinity's first release.
