I alternate between VCCodium and Kate, both are fine to me, but Kate feels snappier since I'm on KDE. It's also less of a resource drain.
I can't manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma
Ouch, I can imagine how it feels. I've always been a KDE user, but I've tried other DEs before Since I used lots of KDE stuff (Krita, Kate, KdenLive) I stuck with it.
That's actually an issue with most Debian-/Ubuntu-based distributions, as Debian/Ubuntu still does not package QGnomePlatform. This is preinstalled on Fedora and makes Qt apps, like Kate, look nice on GNOME.
If I remember correctly, Flatpak apps from Flathub are unaffected by this Debian/Ubuntu issue, as Flathub includes QGnomePlatform in their runtimes.
I frequently use Kate as a backup as well. Do you configure it in anyway?
I like to remove the top menu and have the icons to the sidebar. Other than that, I activate a few plugins and keep it pretty vanilla. Most of the default configs are fine to me, and the command bar helps a lot.
