That has been my solution to getting rid of kate. I liked gedit, but it scrambled the contents of a file one too many times so I'm using geany now. A pretty face, less capable, but has yet to scramble a file just while changing one byte in it. Plugins are gradually appearing as coders scratch their own personal itches.
