No. Kate is more complex and confusing. KWrite was introduced as a
deliberately simpler text editor, which is why we ship it by default
instead of Kate. Kate is *built* on KWrite and extends it with lots of
programmer-specific stuff.
Maybe a better question to ask is why should we switch from KWrite to Kate?
For example, are you looking for a better native KDE developer tool or a
different text editor? Based on what I see, KWrite fills the need for a basic
text editor as Neal puts it while Kate offers a more developer-focused editor
environment. The use cases are not really the same and there's likely room
for both to exist.
