Kate is a powerful, cross-platform text editor much like Notepad++. It is native to the KDE Linux desktop environment and has been ported to Windows and Mac OS. I love using the same apps across platforms and having this added to the PortableApps suite would be fantastic.

Kate is currently only available as a "preview version" for Windows. Once it is out of that status, we may consider portablizing it.
Alternatively, one of our developers may pick it up earlier than that to get it started.
I second the vote for Kate
After 7 years of development, and as a default editor in many KDE distrobuitons,
I think it matures enough to reconsider a portable version.
I really don't like the Microsoft Store or Chocolatey installation as provided in the offical website.
