Has the KDE Social/Semantic Desktop been worth the hassle to anyone?

With all the hassles added by Akonadi and Nepomuk and Strigi for some 
higher "social/semantic desktop" purpose, does anyone actually _use_ the 
stuff? Or just the devs that thought it up? Googling "KDE Social Desktop" 
returns mostly 3-year-old links to articles about what it will do someday, 
but I'm wondering, "What does it do today?" There have been 9 major 
releases to date. Is everyone (but me) social-desktopping away happily and 
not writing anything (useful) about it? Even the Social-Desktop mailing 
list archive is pushing a year without any updates.

Googling "KDE Semantic Desktop" doesn't provide much more current 
information about why I should care now, years after the project was 
started.

All I know is that is causes a lot of problems, for me and others, without 
any obvious benefits. All I've seen for me is every once in a while, for no 
apparent reason, an app as simple as my email program suddenly consumes up 
to 2G of memory and I have to kill it and restart the Akonadi server. For 
email, something I've used in one form or another since the 1990s - _15 
year ago_.

So what's happening with this grand vision?
