There are all kinds of specialized apps.  Some apps are only worthwhile if 
you have a scanner, some are only worthwhile if you only have a single 
user workstsation, some apps only if you know or are learning a language.  
KMail's only good if you have a POP or IMAP mail account, a situation that 
grows less common as people take advantage of free mail services.

If KDE removes everything isn't useful to *everyone* then KDE ceases to 
exist.
