Thanks to the help of our contributors the current state of Kate for the upcoming first Qt & KF 6 release looks very promising. For more information read this post.

Marcan reverse-engineered Apple’s M1/2 silicon using only Kate and konsole.
Someone mains Kate for development? That’s really cool actually, I’ve always just seen it as a better default text editor
He is the developer who reverse-engineered the whole apple silicon thing, and he did it with kate and konsole. lol. I have watched so many of his live streams on youtube, the dude even uses Gentoo with KDE. He is a genius.
Yeah, I had heard a few things about him, incredible work
Please link the stream.
Cheers!
So, it’s an IDE? For what language(s)
It’s a text editor.
I use it like I use notepad ++ on Windows.
It supports many languages and it has LSP and DAP support. As long as there is a language server and debug adapter binaries, Kate should pick them up and work with the language. And if there’s no default config, you can add your own.
It’s a feature-rich text editor with LSP support. I suppose you could use it as a simple IDE, though I haven’t tried it.
Looks like for everything there is plugins and lsp support for. Like vsc but not Microsoft.

It is pretty powerful. We use it in RKWard (GUI/IDE) for #rstats.It supports many languages. Have a look at https://kate-editor.org/.
Ah yes, the kernel’s flavor
