A tribute to Kate

by rullzer on Jan.28, 2007, under Programming things

Since I am a KDE user i prefer to use a lot of KDE programs. However for editing code I always uses vi. That was until last week. When a buddy of mine, Sander, and me were coding. We both do not like huge IDE’s like Eclipse and KDevelop. They are just way to huge and take up all my ram (1.5GB at the moment so that is not really an argument). But is is an argument when I say i like lightweighted application, and well I do. So about Kate. It allows me to edit multiple files, auto-indentation and so on and so forth. Now I know vi has all that to. But right now I think Kate looks better.

If you not raised with vim-keybindings (yes i actually know someone that is) and you like lightweighted texteditors. Take a look at Kate.
