It is also worth the effort to figure it out.( ).Ī con of SciTE is that it my sometimes be hard to fine the. But if it is used by the right users it can work just as well. The main con of Kate is that it is a KDE development, therefore it may sometimes work not as nicely in a Gnome IDE. This meaning it can be opened and worked in for days with multiple window sessions, without it crashing( ). SciTe is very good in handling large files, and is also known as a highly stable text editor. SciTE is also free to download, the same as Kate.

In Kate there is a drop-down bar on the left-hand side of the screen, showing very clearly from which folders all the files are from. This is because of the way in which Kate displays the files. It is though, in some situations easier to work with files from different folders in Kate. Both have more or less the same interface, using tabbing to make it is easy to see what files are being worked with. In general there are not huge differences between the two text editors. Hopefully at the end, it will be clear which one is more flexible and better for specific tasks. Further on, we will discuss the unique features of each, comparing the two. SciTE, also an acronym for SCIntilla based Text Editor, has its own unique features, but is completely cross-platform( ).
