I don't know the exact reason why we currently have kwrite as default
instead of kate, but I believe it is due to wanting a smaller default
install size.

Package Size:
kwrite: 256 k
kate: 6.2 M

Installation Size:
Installing kate you end up with 50M more than with kwrite.

There might be other reasons, like integration, but I don't know them.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea to switch, I'm just giving one reason
why it might be the way it currently is.
