Note, that this would even work, the question would be rather annoying, though :) The solution right now is to always start KWrite in a simple mode. Mostly only actions are hidden in the menus (@distributors: kdelibs/kate/data/katepartsimpleui.rc), but you can also change c++ code at Kate part level, as there are some functions:
- bool KateDocument::simpleMode() (kate part internal), and
- bool KTextEditor::Editor::simpleMode() (along with setSimpleMode())
PS: Tackat, we came up with this image before our phone call. That's why it was really funny when you said HTML is something that should not be removed. hehe... :)

Excelent Idea. As simple as it is!
Meh, when I saw the title and the graph I thought this was about IE8's web standards support...
I'm not familiar with your changes or what the difference between simple and normal mode is, but to me it sounds like those are 2 different applications (which is cool because they are using much of the same code)
how are people going to know that there are two modes for Kate to operate in. If it defaults to a "simple" mode how are you letting us know that there is a "complex" mode. Personally I don't see a reason for two modes, but if you have them you should make switching a piece of cake.
@BSmith1012: No, those who wants to get "control back into the users hands" are advanced users. They don't have any problem with opening configuration and unchecking checbox.
And for non-pro users, for who KWrite's default configuration should be designed,"top rightish or so" button would by confusing.
So change mentioned in this post id win-win situation for everyone :)
I wanna see a basical Dir Tree view option in the "directory" tab.
Thanks :)
Perhaps a stupid question :
Why not specialize kwrite for basic purpose and let power user just use kate ?
Kde need a good (and fast loaded) simple editor to allow the user to quickly edit a text file.
@Loïc: Kwrite and Kate use the same editor component behind the scenes. So all the menus etc are the same.
This simple mode is exactly for kwrite being a bit easier to use.
dhaumann: thanks for your answer
so the naive question is : do we loose some launch time by using the same complex engine than kate than in fact we dont really completely use in default mode ?
I think launch time is very important for a basic editor, but perhaps this has not real effect on the total launch time ?!
Cheers
No, I believe the launch time is 1:1, as this is just about hiding some items.
