#3Kate was, beside Dolphin one of my earliest and most positively surprising discoveries on KDE.
Kate fulfills for me the role that Np++ had back in the windows days. I use it when I want to work file based and not project- or directory based.

#4Love Kate! Given I _had_ to use Windows on my last job, I promptly installed it. Need multicursor shenanigans, and the lovely search & replace.
Had some trouble with the default theme however (flashbang everytime I opened it). But, a nightly build solved that.

Like Dolphin is even better than Explorer, Kate is even better than Notepad++!

#6For some reason I expected this article to be a horror story of bad behavior from the new community upon porting to other platforms (complaints about the port etc.), and how it wasn't worth the effort.
Glad to see that it's mostly a status update and a call for contributions.

#7Kate has been a really good replacement for stuff like VSCode or BBEdit, but it's still got some rough edges on macOS in my experience. I mostly use it on Linux, and the LSP support is actually pretty good. It's definitely a barebones experience without all of the plugin support other editors might have, but if you just need something for writing scripts or editing files it should fit the bill.

Can we stop downvoting the OP for giving a tldr of their submission :)

That is a wild accusation. I need to install a nightly of Kate and give it another chance, if it's truly as good as you say. Np++ is starting to annoy me, with it's constant reopening of like 50 files every time it's started lol.

The fix is a checkbox away in the np++ settings dialog. That just goes to show that defaults are incredibly powerful.
