Hello together
I am 20 years old and new in the OpenSource World. Since a half year i use Fedora Spins KDE. For me its the most stable distribution i ever used (I tried nearly any big KDE Distro). I will start to contribution on this. My problem is that i am not god in programing and don't have much time because work, education.... I hope i can contribute with some ideas to make Fedora KDE a more consistent Distribution.
In Fedora KDE is kwrite installed as default. For me it make more sence to install kate as default, because its much more powerful.

I don't know the exact reason why we currently have kwrite as default instead of kate, but I believe it is due to wanting a smaller default install size.
Package Size: kwrite: 256 k kate: 6.2 M
Installation Size: Installing kate you end up with 50M more than with kwrite.
There might be other reasons, like integration, but I don't know them. I'm not saying it's a bad idea to switch, I'm just giving one reason why it might be the way it currently is.
