In KDE 2.x, KWrite didn t use KParts technology, which allows to embed one application into another. Then, KWrite was rewritten to use this technology. It allows user to choose, for example, Vim (text editor) to be embedded into KWrite. Other options include Qt Designer based text editor and KDE advanced text editor (KATE) . The latter is the default option, and makes use of Kate text editor.
