- Do editors in 2023 still save files like sth.txt~, sth.txt.bak and similars? 

  Yes, they do. 
  Some skip that when working inside git/hg/svn/… folder, some allow
  to use separate folder, but such files are still fairly frequent.

- Would some users prefer not to see those files?

  Yes. For example myself.

- Does KDE allow user to manage which files are hidden, and which are not?

  No, it doesn't. 
  There is option to show or hide „Hidden files” but no way to influence
  which file is considered to be „Hidden”.

So functionality-wise bug is just as sound and valid, as it was when it was
reported.

Projects make various priorities, open-source projects even more so
(considering people come to work on what they fancy or what they find
troublesome). Some bugs are less lucky. But if there is to be any hope, the
open issue means the thought of doing sth is not abandoned.

And it is somewhat heart-warming to get mail that sb. started working on issue
I reported 20 years ago (OK, OK, I reported one of the early dupes, not this
one)
