Well, I work with it, 'cause I couldn't find a better one. (I know, I should 
use Emacs, but I will not!) And it's one of the few editors that can handle 
Mac line endings (and convert between Win/Mac/Unix).

It does some syntax highlighting (you know, I try to enhance it) and it looks 
similar to Crimson, that I use on WinNT: The "normal" view of a modern 
programmer's editor with a directory tree and a console. And there's a usable 
(even if not complete) project plug-in.

But Kate has some mis-features (at least at the moment):
-- word wrapping is on or off for all files, and there's only hard wrapping.
-- no line numbering
-- no sort
-- no macros (one could make plugins, but i can't)
-- some strange crashes (but no data loss until now)

Editors are a matter of taste.
I used to use Nedit, that has a nice search bar, but I like german menus and 
a directory tree...
