I'm not aware of distros preinstalling KWrite, though...?

Huh, I did not know that any didn't. I just tried a bunch, and here is a quick breakdown of what was preinstalled on each:

Distro Kate KWrite
Bazzite true true
Fedora false true
KDE Neon true false
Kubuntu true false
Manjaro true true
openSUSE true false
SteamOS true true

Well, I can throw in another for free:

distro Kate kwrite
openSUSE true false

But yeah, interesting list. These days, KWrite is basically just Kate with different configuration, if I understand correctly, so it always feels like you might as well go with Kate. In my opinion, KWrite is also not particularly easier to use, since basic editing works the same, but I guess, that can be disagreed on.

I do like that Kate is pre-installed. Imagine Windows, but rather than notepad.exe, you get Notepad++ out of the box. Now imagine that to also be a whole lot better and then that's what it feels like to have Kate on fresh installations.
You can just start coding something right away, without it being necessary to install a different editor.
