It is indeed obsolete. See kutils for the new classes Kate / Kmail / Konq / KNode
use.

" The QMultiLineEdit was a simple editor widget in former Qt versions.
 Qt 3.0 includes a new richtext engine which obsoletes QMultiLineEdit. It is still
 included for compatibility reasons. It is now a subclass of QTextEdit, and provides 
 enough of the old QMultiLineEdit API to keep old applications working."

KEdit is just a subclassed QMLE. QTextEdit / KTextEdit have a ton more API features
