        Someone asked me what IDE I use for python and I’m so dumb I didn’t even know what they meant. I just said whatever the fedora gnome text editor app is… who needs IDEs!

        You’d typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you’re gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.
