  I wouldn’t use “>=”…the serve different purposes. But yes, they are all build with the same edito components (ktexteditor). Kwrite for example has no tab support…making it not really useful for editing more than one file at a time…but is simpler to use so rather useful for quick config file editing. Kate is a full fledged text editor with plugin and LSP support. So it can serve as editor for programming but also as editor for other tasks that require some organizing and multiple files. kdevelop is a IDE. It includes a lot more tools (for example tools for easier looking through git patches before submitting them) but it is pretty much only geared towards programming (and there for specific languages like c, cpp, python or php) Not mention…but kile is a editor specified on creating latex document which also uses the same editor component.
