Why does an app for writing/reading text require personal information
management tools? How is that relevant to notes-taking? For example, I wouldn't
want an app for notes to have access to my contacts and so on. It seems to be
unnecessary/badly designed and a privacy concern.

I don't understand why it can't open plain text files instead of only making it
an option to read/save as maildir.

Which? Anything better than Kate? I submitted this issue because of a major
issue with Kate for note-taking and am looking for a similar app:

Why would one need to install mysql server for a note-taking app? This is just
very wrong, especially if it's a dependency instead of optional.
