Well, part of the reason may have been that at the time Skanlite was
started, Kooka was unmaintained (and was already planned to be dropped
from KDE4), had lots of outstanding bugs and had not been updated for
some time.

There was a lot that needed to be done to Kooka as it was then, so
presumably Skanlite's developer decided that the way forward was to
create a new application and library.  That was his perogative, and
there's nothing wrong with doing that.
