QUERY: K editors woes :S

Just wondering how many text editors come with KDE.

I been using KDevelop and been a fan of the editor within it. Then I used Kate, and then KWrite. I notice that they are all VERY similar. Similar GUI, menus, configurations, and almost everything. Does Kate, KWrite & KDevelop use some common editor core base?

Also, what is the difference between Kate, KDevelop (editor) and KWrite?

Probably there's a Kedit, right?

KWrite uses the Kate editor KPart, Kate obviously as well

KDevelop uses the editor component which is configured in control center, by default this is also Kate part

The difference between KDevelop and the other two is pretty clear: it is an IDE the other two are editors.

KWrite is aims at providing a simple text editor, while Kate provides a more complex GUI for working with lots of files, for example for developers that do not want to use an IDE.

Kedit is an addon editor (kdeutils if I remember correctly) and provides support for languages written right to left
