Quoting: NumerfoltI have been using Kate all the time and was wondering why they would use KWrite instead. Then I opened up KWrite for the first time and thought that it should be quite a good replacement.
Maybe I'm stupid, but isn't it the same program? If I open Kate and KWrite, they look the same. When I open About, the only difference is the name at the top, both show the same info, including "(c) 2000-2024 The Kate Authors" (sic!). However, the kwrite binary is 4x smaller than kate, so I'm probably missing something. Maybe KWrite is like Notepad and Kate is like Notepad++, if you forgive the comparison. ;-)

[edit] Ok, I'm starting to see small differences, like integrated terminal and git in Kate. So I guess it's more like an IDE and KWrite is just a text editor?

I've had it a couple of times, but it always went away by itself. Still good to see them track it down. :-)

My only concern is that they will set the prices based on the local top and then never revise them (*ahem* regional pricing [External Link] *ahem*).

Since my language version of Pooh was not named Winnie, the only association I have with this name is Danica McKellar in The Wonder Years. 😇

I seriously hope all the AI enthusiasts just hook up to that thing and stay there. 😝

Heart of China... I have it on my must-play list since forever (ok, since 1991). Has the time finally come? It's on GOG, too.

Gigeresque Dark Seed is also something I've been meaning to play one day, but I don't see it on sale anywhere...
