I genuinely do a lot of coding in Kate, the standard KDE editor. It's enough to do a lot of things, has highlighting, and is more than enough when you just need a quick fix.

I am also still using nano when editing stuff in the terminal. Please, don't judge me.

KWrite is the standard text editor. Kate is the advanced one. The name actually literally stands for "KDE Advanced Text Editor"

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
Debian	true	true
Fedora	false	true
KDE Neon	true	false
Kubuntu	true	false
Manjaro	true	true
openSUSE	true	false
SteamOS	true	true
