Text Editor Performance Comparison

I'd like to see Kate added. It's one of the most capable editors on desktop Linux and bundled by default on many distros. Curious how it performs in direct comparison!

I think Kate is sort of underappreciated. I keep going back to it on Linux after using other editors.

It seems to be available for Windows and OSX, but I haven't tried it on those platforms. Does anyone have any experience with that?

I suspect it's perceived as KDE-specific, which might be part of the reason it doesn't get more attention.

Yeah, I usually install it on Windows as well. Works just fine, although I don't use Windows extensively.

Yes, Kate is so friendly! It is not lightning fast, but if you already run the rest of KDE then its not the slowest part of your workflow.
