# Chapter 1. Introduction

KWrite is a text editor for the KDE Desktop. It could be a programmer's editor best used in conjunction with kfm for source file browsing for different languages. KWrite may also serve well for composition of small plain text documents. It is meant to be a programmers editor, and it could be considered as a partial alternative to more powerful editors such as XEmacs or Emacs.
