Kate, KDE’s programming-focused text editor, is, of course, a Qt application, and is also available on a variety of other platforms. Christoph Cullmann, one of the developers of Kate, published a short blog post with screenshots of Kate running on the three biggest platforms – Linux/BSD, Windows, and macOS. Sadly, while Haiku gets a mention, there’s no screenshot of the Haiku version of Kate.
Still, it’s interesting to see the family resemblance.

Thanks Morgan!
Kate (and its slightly simplified sibling KWrite) is a great little editor that’s surprisingly feature-rich and not bogged down with things like an Electron shell (unlike VSCode). I didn’t realize there was an official Windows release – will be nice to have my go-to editor on Linux on my Windows machine too. 🙂
I teach basic programming and numerical analysis to engineering students. Making Kate available in the Windows store has been a big help to getting them access to good, simple tools. Now that Python is also in the Windows store we don’t have to rely on Anaconda Python so much.
I’ve always preferred KWrite over Kate. Is that available as well?
I was just in HaikuDepot and KWrite was available there as well.
Kate on Haiku!

Apologies. I missed Morgan’s comment. My bad ( no take-backs on OSnews ).
It’s okay, the more Haiku the better! 🙂
