No, that is simply not true.  Where is the Gnome kate?  How can I make 
multiple panes in nautilus?  Can I make a konsole inside the nautilus 
frame that retains pwd context?

It is a major consequence for me if I cannot combine the action of 
kate/kwrite with fish://

gedit fish://blah.com/index.html

Could not open the file fish://blah.com/index.html
*gedit cannot handle fish: locations.*

To give it its due, gedit can open http:// locations read-only, but I 
can't admin websites with that.  Kate gives me security and convenience. 
  (If there is a way to do the equivalent in Gnome, I will be grateful 
to be educated)

I can sum up the TRUE schism between Gnome and KDE: Gnome hackers know 
C.  KDE hackers know C++.  Over time that holds back Gnome, advances 
KDE, and all the while Redhat ignore it they only damage themselves.
