Kate's features include: * Multiple saved sessions, each with numerous files. * Scriptable syntax highlighting, indentation, and code-folding. * Configurable templates and text snippets. * Symbol viewers for C, C++, and Python * XML completion and validation

    Good text editor, but the interface is a little weak.

    KATE ROCKS.
    It's very feature-full, it's really customizable, I love it.
    Code completion is a win as well.
    Loving the splitview functionality too. It's crashed on me a couple of times, but that's really forgiveable if you see what you get.

    I love this. I like it even better than notepad++ on windows.

    it's a complete and user-friendly editor. The built-in Konsole is a must, as well as the handy vertical tab bar.

    Kate is THE text editor for all Linux users! Works just as well for editing configuration files as it does for hardcore programming.
