Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.
I’d argue that they’re even better than Notepad++. There’s certainly no shortage of editors on Linux…
Those are all bloat. Just embrace vim.
Kate is too bloated to fill the role of Notepad. Kwrite is lighter but like Kate all the shortcuts are different from Notepad and the Gnome Text Editor. Took me three attempts to get the shortcuts right, first because I didn’t save them correctly and second because I missed one of the way too many things you can configure.
Kate and Kwrite make the OOTB experience with KDE bad for new users from anywhere else.
Coming from Windows and Notepad++, I love Kate!
I used both Notepad and Notepad++ on Windows, then changed to Linux Mint and used the GNOME text editor which was the perfect middle-ground. Then I changed to KDE and I got hit with the abomination that is Kate.
What do you not like about Kate? It’s very simple and minimal on the outside but has lots of cool features if you need them. (Just like KDE Plasma)
