KTextEditor is KDE's generic interface for editors. Gideon has its own 
"KEditor" interface and kwrite-part, nedit-part and so on are wrappers around 
this interface.

IMHO all KDE applications should use the new KTextEditor interface and so I'm 
trying to remove Gideon's old interface (and slowly going nuts by doing 
so)...

Kate is the first (and only??) Editor that implements the new KTextEditor 
interface, the goal should be to port Gideon's parts also to the KTextEditor 
interface, so that all KDE applications can use NEdit, QEdit and so on as 
(optional) Editors.
