Notepad++ leaves SourceForge
I don't understand, do you mean there's something wrong with the name 'Kate' (KDE Advanced text Editor), that the appearance and conduct Kate developers are not professional, or that there is something unprofessional about the program?

The name, obviously. Doesn't matter what it stands for, it's a girls first name.

Damn right! Girly program languages suck. That's why I never even bothered to try Ada, and why my favourite is Python.

Well, it's just a text editor. I've had good experiences with girls named 'Kate', so for me, this is a bonus.

So is "Vi" ... well, it's short for Violet. Can't imagine calling a girl "Emacs" though ...
