the most recent commit digest reminded me of a nice little bit of news: the base kde installation of libs+base now includes exactly one text editor application application, kwrite.
kate (the app not the part; the latter is still in kdelibs, of course) has been moved to kdesdk since it is aimed more at people doing things like, well, programming. this also means that the kate plugins are moving out of kdeaddons and into kdesdk with kate itself. so if you use kate you'll get all the plugins too.
so a minimal desktop gets exactly one text editor and kate users get more functiona by default. the "multiple text editors complaint" was a bit silly at the best of times, but now there's no reason for it at all anymore.

FYI, those same people will complain about having two file managers by default.
we don't. we have one file manager and we have one universal browser. they are rather different animals.
super, I completely agree with this decision.
by the way, like your new blog theme ;)
It's a good decision,altough I have kate as default to view text files. By the way, since you mention katepart, will there be support for autoindenting PHP scripts?
Thank you for your work...
Hi, what about a nice place to decide which program will be start...
Like when which is the default Text Editor. Or which is the default file manager (Krusader, Dolphin, Konqueror or Shark.. :-).
Likewise decide which mail program you like to use if it is Mailody or KMail, or Kontakt.
Maybe which of two or more ImageViewer you prefere...
Which browser you like to open, for example Konqueror or maybe Firefox, or some Webkit version...
Windows does something like that but only for mail and browsing...
Now you're going to tell me KDE already has something like that ? Or am I just crazy?
