Oh, I know vim and emacs are actually incredibly powerful once you
learn how to use them. I'm just a child of the GUI generation and
believe UIs should be readily discoverable in accordance with
http://xkcd.com/627/. I've tried to apply that technique to both
applications in the past and failed miserably (although I will admit I
haven't had the inclination to even try to use either of them for
years now). Neither really strikes me as just a text editor, but more
a way of life ;)

Anyway, to bring this back on topic...

Neither Kate nor Notepad++ allow you to easily move documents between
windows (you have to open them explicitly in the second window). I had
never noticed the lack until I explicitly checked for it after
Stephen's last email. I suspect whether you consider this a must have
feature or not depends greatly on your personal workflow when coding.
If IDLE were to adopt a tabbed view without easy migration between
separate windows, it would have plenty of company.

Cheers,
Nick.
