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.
