  I have been slowly moving away from VSCode to Kate and its safe to say that the snappiness of a native text editor is beyond amazing. VSCode is, by no means, slow but native is native.

  This is really exciting because:

  1. There aren't any good fully featured GUI text editors on Windows (aside from vscode). No, IDEs don't count because they are either too bloated or too focused on a single stack.

  2. An integrated terminal finally allows Kate to be feature complete on Windows. It was one of the biggest missing features compared to other platforms.

  Really excited to try this out!
