They're dropping KEdit? Why?
by QV on Saturday 11/Sep/2004, @20:52

Personally, I think if they're going to drop an editor, they should get rid of KWrite.

KEdit has an advantage in that it's very light. Kate has an advantage in that it's very powerful. I use both regularly, depending on what I want to do. KWrite is neither as light as KEdit, nor as powerful as Kate. I never use it, ever--there's no reason to.

Now, dumping Noatun, that I can agree with. JuK runs circles around it, IMO (I recently switched to JuK from XMMS, and like it quite a bit). Unfortunately, JuK doesn't support streaming audio, but AmaroK does. AmaroK also runs circles around Noatun, tho I prefer JuK to AmaroK in every area except streaming.

To gain anything they have to drop KEdit, since KWrite and Kate are the same editor. KWrite is only a light version of Kate, without all the advanced stuff.

Personally, the only one I use is KWrite, because a lot of files that I look at would be a lot harder to use without syntax highlighting. If I need anything more powerful than KWrite I tend to jump straight into KDevelop.

I guess removing KWrite would work though, as we have a really light editor (KEdit) and a slightly heavier editor (Kate), and then a full development IDE.
