Clearly its difficult to determine what features are bloat and what 
features of any
system add value when you don't actually know who uses what and why.

KEdit may be preferred because it might be lighter-weight in interface 
than Kate or any
other set of possible reasons.  Some people don't like to change.  The 
good question might
be why did we start 3 different text editors to begin with.  If they 
had always been one this
wouldn't be an issue.

Of course you can try to measure if KEdit's presence is hurting anyone. 
  Other than taking up
space and build time for those who don't use it [and believe me there 
are much bigger things
than KEdit taking up space/time that I don't use].

Its harmless to keep it and potentially harmful to get rid of it.

Everyone finds things that they think would be better had they done it 
differently in hindsight.

That's what CVS is for :). [kinda]
