But this would mean that we will not have an acceptable web client soon.

This is better explained by the developers itself. The management perspective 
is: First everybody things Horde is fixable, then they try doing this which 
turns out harder as expected. When asking for a good design that will do a

is:  A rewrite would be less expensive.
