Yes. I use kate/kwrite when I edit html (sometimes also other source files), I 
use kedit when I edit small simple text files or when I need a small, 
no-bells-and-whistles graphical text editor, or even just a simple KDE app.
Kwrite is being actively developed, and therefor it has from time to time more 
problems than kedit (which of course get fixed, but anyway), kedit more or 
less stagnates, that can also be a good thing.

I would miss kedit.
