So, I made a Q&D benchmark of #BBEdit vs #Kate on macOS, opening and manipulating a huge text file : 915MB, +14M lines, some lines longer than 150K characters.

Kate opens the file faster, but everything else is slower. Kate also has a tunable limit of line length (default to 10K), documents with lines longer than that limit are opened read-only, unless you choose to override the limit when prompted to.
Also, above a given file size, Kate seems to disable some features, probably to preserve performance.

BBEdit has super great text manipulation features, designed with the user in mind (nice GUI to tune a line sorting operation, a complex line extraction, dupe removal, etc.).
Most of these features are non-existant in Kate. But one can achieve very similar results with the great «Filter Through Command…» menu. Just enter your usual grep/awk/tr/sed/sort/whatever command and get the result.

Hello Kate users! (as in Kate Text Editor)

Does one know if one can change the cursor shape and the cursor color?
I would like to replicate my Terminal.app cursor setting in Kate.

In my search for a non-big Tech alternative to #VSCode/#VSCodium, I've been giving the #Kate text/code editor a try over the last week (which oddly I had never heard of before, even though it's been around for over 25 years!):

There are a couple of things I haven't yet figured out (like how to get Markdown previews working), but overall I quite like it so far!
