Actually I'm not "anti-kate". I've found it very usefull when coding 
(typically html or tcl). I never had issues with the fonts and kate allways 
did it's job very well.

The "feature" I dislike is the file list on the left. I've never liked these 
explorer-like setups (the first thing I do when setting up konqueror is to 
hide the "navigation panel"). It somehow disturbs me to see all the files 
that were edited before (I also switch off sessions). There are those who 
like to shutdown and come back where they were, I belong to those that let 
the system clean up after them and rejoice in finding a clean desktop at 
their return (I probably dream of having  a household with lots of 
servants... )

Kate is usefull for special purposes (it does let you create files with unix, 
windows or macintosh end-of-lines too), but it's too "complicated" for simple 
editing (for me, kedit is enough) and not enough for real text writing where 
I use libreoffice.

So actually I felt the thread was more about how would it be possible to 
change the default editor in TDE :)

This is the strength of TDE: let it behave as _you_ want instead of learning 
to behave as the system wants.

Have a great day,
