DUChain actually might even predate Clang from what I've been able to dig up today, but there's a few other points working against Clang supplanting it:

1. DUChain was designed to support multiple languages (since KDevelop does). E.g. there is work going on now to offer first-class JavaScript support in KDevelop, which libclang wouldn't help with.

2. No one has done the work to verify API/ABI compatibility guarantees, porting libclang into DUChain, etc.

There's interest though:
