Kate certainly is.

But as Liam says, "UI is all". I am not concerned with features.

I have never used 1% of Kate's features, but I cannot use it to put text 
in.

I cannot even achieve printing with it the way I want, because I cannot 
set margins ;-).

I mean to say that I cannot use it as a Notepad replacement. So I've 
been using "xed" from Mint. I think it comes nearest of a usable thing 
to me. I think it is not so hard to edit it to get it to have some 
margins that I like, but I remember failing to compile it.

Anyway, all of this I've said before I guess, but just to recap...

Anyway, I would still like to know if there is something wrong with me 
;-) or there is actual difference in font rendering in KDE versus 
Unity/Mint. And that I'm just seeing things but it doesn't bother other 
people? I would have to fire up an Ubuntu live DVD at this point.

I mean for jEdit of course.

And of course I agree with LittleGirl that the thing should be 
configurable (the margins). That was the whole point, it's a shame they 
aren't. So thank you.
