Re: KDE for Developers
#2I used to be big on Kate but then during the KDE 4.0 times it started lagging behind other editors and I switched.
I think Kate definitely need language servers support (or alternative support) before it can be competitive.
It looks already pretty awesome and feature packed (not even astrovim has multiple selections editing!)

Kate has LSP support for a few years already.

#5KDE is night and day when compared to the GNOME efforts of what represents a full stack development experience, as provided by the commercial desktops and mobile OSes from Apple, Google and Microsoft.
Pity that isn't as much loved as it should be.

Kate has LSP support. Checkout the plugin section in the settings there is also built-in plugin for DAP-based debuggers, Git, SQL database and more

#7Guys, while KDE is undoubtedly best thing happened to Linux, for me the development... or overall problem of developing software for Linux it he Linux itself: lack of registry, COM, permissions, interoperability. I understand how hard is it to plan and do all these things. But... but.
For example, AFAIR, Kate was integrated as text editor into KDevelop (which I painfully used as main IDE in linux), but it created unbelievable mess in settings - some of them didn't change, others changed things globally for KATE, some worked for KDev. Menus didn't stack up... But still, I really appreciate all the work was done by kdevs! One other IDE I would consider is Code::Blocks, but wx is not entirely good with Qt as backend yet.

KDE is better of course. This coming from someone that once upon a time did Gtkmm advocacy.

Actually D-BUS and DCOP are much better than COM, if Microsoft ever looked into COM like tooling in other platforms, instead they keep rebooting the ATL like experience while ignoring how others have improved upon COM.
XPC and Android Binder are also two other examples of better tooling in this area.
