Honestly this is the only complaint I agree with. KDE plasma desktop and its configurability looks and feels great... but all their in house actual windowed applications like Konsole and Kate are mediocre at best. All that duplicated effort seems wasteful.
- array_key_first 7mo agoIt's honestly just Konsole. Kate is very good, you can legitimately use it as a vscode replacement if you want. Dolphin is also the best file manager and it's not even close. And then kmail... kmail is bad.
- Pxtl 7mo agoI don't want Kate to be vscode, I want it to be notepad.exe. I want it to open a document instantly and let me edit and save and close with no distractions or delays. I have vscode for vscode.
- array_key_first 7mo agoI think Kate does that, it just also has a bunch of other functionality.
- GreenWatermelon 7mo agoFor just notepad you have kwrite.
- WD-42 7mo agoI wonder how much QT has to do with this. AFAIK the only _decent_ bindings are still C++ and Python. For KDE it might just be C++? There's plenty of valid criticism of GTK but choosing C over C++ isn't one of them. It seems like there is a new Rust GTK app every week, and other languages as well, thanks to the availability of bindings. I'm curious how long relying on C++ contributions is going to last.
