Thank god Kate has a Windows port.
Yeah, but that's using Linux with extra steps
Most of the KDE apps on Windows are broken in one way or another. Kate is the only one that works well in my experience. That being said, yes Linux is better.
It was possible to replace Windows Task Bar with KDE Panel at one point (could be around KDE 4 times) and it was actually hilarious to use Windows with KDE (Dolphin and all). Certainly made Windows less terrible.
Is that like my friend Anna who has an archive?
You know Anna too?
Why would you use windows
Honestly, just to experiment with it. I like to see what it can do. Also, because HD-DVD ripping is broken in MakeMKV on Linux. I use Linux for 99℅ of my computing tasks. My main system runs CachyOS and I have been using Linux as my daily driver for around six years. I don't trust Windows to do most things.
I've been an adherent of Notepad++ for ages. What's the draw of Kate?
Mostly because it's what I'm used to. They're both pretty comperable.
