RoundCube-Next Is Woefully Behind Schedule
After raising more than $103,000 USD last year via crowd-funding the RoundCube-Next web-based email client doesn't really appear to be going anywhere.
A massive crowdfunding campaign was launched in early 2015 to make RoundCube-Next a reality where they raised $103,541 of their original $80k goal. RoundCube-Next is/was supposed to be completely redesigned, offer integrated chat functionality, support video conferencing with WebRTC, integrate cloud file access, and offer a new and quite nice looking responsive UI.

Some notes on programming languages and web development
Even before I begin, I must state that I'm not a web developer. I've never been one, and I have no intention to turn into one either. It isn't that I don't like developing web applications. On the contrary, I find the topic incredibly interesting. It's just that everything I need has pretty much already been developed by web developers, so I've never had to write an app myself. Add to that my lack of interest in pursuing a career the software development industry - I prefer my research - the implications are that I will always prioritise research related development.
Take this blog, for example. It once used to be a Wordpress deployment, but I eventually got fed up with it bleeding the resources of my shared hosting space and moved to a static site. I didn't even bother learning a new language like Ruby to use Jekyll. I found something that was written in Python, a language that I know pretty well - Pelican - which works really well. So, really, for my web requirements, I tend to pick the path of least effort.
