One note, I would not call Kate as core app. It rather belongs to a
Specialized Apps group (with KDevelop, Konsole and... Kexi for
example). Anyone unconvinced can look at, say, Kate's Tools menu :)

So my idea could be to start from optics of basic user, discovering
personas, their
goals or needs, and then realistic groups would appear naturally.
BTW, does even "Core Apps" sound fine for the basic user?
