Just use KDE's Kate, it's so much better in every way

For coders, yes, but for writing down a quick note or something is nice

KWrite hasn't been released by KDE on the Windows app store, Kate has. Using the app store means seamless updates in the background.

Maybe KWrite is available on winget which would make it a bit less inconvenient than manually downloading each update.

Edit: KWrite isn't available on winget

C:\> winget search kwrite

Love Kate on Linux, but is it just me that Kate on Windows is extremely slow to open compares to literally everything, even Sublime? My system has i7-12800HX and everything is installed on gen 4 NVMe SSDs so specs shouldn't be an issue.
