A lot of good things happen at the moment in Kate’s development. We didn’t only implement plenty of new features for 21.04 and fix a lot of bugs in the last months and year, we did improve our overall product branding, too. Early in 2020, we introduced a new Kate icon designed by Tyson Tan to get some icon that is instantly recognizable compared to the generic ones we used in the past.
But before I posted here I showed Kate to a friend of mine that does programming and he was surprised that this hadn’t been more featured, him usually using VScode. But I haven’t heard if it made it possible for him to stop using VScode.
They also have a IRC where you can talk with the team; #kate at irc.kde.org)
There might be someone here who can answer something more clear, but it’s worth a try I think.
lol I’m not a programmer myself
