For many people kde applications don't work out of the box too.

Also true for kde applications.

I cant comment on that - but the project seems to be alive as there was a
new release just last month with a lot of changes, also they use kf5
libraries where needed.

please refrain from using words like 'inferior' for a project as it's not
helpful.
Currently the whole code for liquidshell is done for one person, and we (as
in the KDE Sc) suffer for a lot of good projects and ideas that as soon as
the original developers get tired the project stalls,
like Macaw Movie, Spectacle, Baloo and quite a few others - so I'm really
afraid of a one-man-project that's basically what other many projects
already do.

About liquidshell, I tried but it didn't even compile on my machine (some
issue with Solid)
