I miss npp so much on linux. Kate is pretty good though, but need to tinker with it quite a bit to make it fit my workflow. But it's also really hard to search for solutions, because just searching the Web for "Kate" brings a lot of noise. I wonder why they've never thought of it.

Also, I figure that long time linux users probably solve for what I experience as pain points completely differently. Like for example they use vim a lot instead.
