Seems like it might be possible, somewhere, sometime down the road to 
clobber all 3 text editors
just enough to get the unified feature set of all of them into one 
great text editor.  I remember bidi being a problem
in Kate way back when I first got my KDE commit bit.    If we haven't 
found an easy solution yet it may be that
the design of Kate is just such that it may have hit a wall in terms of 
design.  No offense intended to anyone
involved with Kate... its a killer application in my book :).  Its just 
that I want to see it be the only editor KDE users need to have.

Its pretty clear until something like that happens that KEdit must stay 
for bidi functionality.  We can't alienate that
group of people who may use KDE who need it.
