Not just the Plasma desktop, there is a lot of KDE software that works well even outside of the KDE desktop, and some of it is really excellent. I find Kate to be a criminally underrated editor for example. It never comes up in VSCode vs vim/... discussions, but I think it's an excellent VSCode replacement if you're looking for something more familiar. Currently my favorite editor hands down.

Author here. I was surprised that Kate supports LSP now. I will not stop using my neovim setup but I definitely found it good for quickly editing small amounts of text.

Kate remembers your unsaved tabs so I use it as a notepad replacement on steroids.
