As said before it's not about individual features. Those that I 
mentioned were only the initial reason to switch to nedit. It has a lot 
more features currently not present in kate. Don't forget that nedit is 
under development for many years. But that's not the point. I might be 
converted to kate someday (who knows :-), but I would like to have the 
choice to use kdevelop with another editor be it because of special 
features or because of personal preferences. As the HEAD kdevelop 
framework provides that, we should not make a step back by implementing 
something, which prevents that. But I think we are already on the right 
track and will find a solution which fits all the different needs.
