 These four editors are Kate, KWrite, KEdit and the fourth one is most 
probably XEdit from kappfinder. KWrite should be probably wiped out 
immediatelly (IIRC it was left just for backwards compatibility), XEdit could 
be probably wiped out too, or at least moved in a submenu or a different menu 
(I don't believe anybody uses this thing anyway, IMHO kappfinder could just 
simply ignore it instead of having .desktop file for every crappy and 
obsolete piece of software it finds). KEdit from kdeutils also probably 
doesn't have many users as Kate is the preffered editor, and I don't see what 
it can do and Kate can't (well, besides starting faster, but there can be 
certainly done something about this).
 
 Just my personal opinion
