Heal tool selection plugin
You open it you're greeted with a list of options instead of a blank file ready to use. When you open it again you'll have 10 open tabs from previous sessions. On the left side you get multiple buttons with coding features ... and I think most KDE users aren't programmers. At the top there are dropdown menus with and most of the hundreds of options there are irrelevant to the non-programmer.
It's much better to leave these kinds of programming-centric features out of the default text editor. The programmers know how to install something better.
I'm not saying Kate shouldn't exist, nor that it shouldn't be installed by default. It just shouldn't be the default.
