[edit] KParts technology

In KDE 2.x, KWrite didn't use KParts technology, which allows embedding one application into another. Then, KWrite was rewritten to use this technology. It allows the user to choose, for example, Vim to be embedded into KWrite. Other options include Qt Designer based text editor and KDE advanced text editor (KATE). The latter is the default option, and makes use of Kate text editor.

[edit] Location of KWrite

KWrite is a part of kdebase package. Recently, it has been merged with Kate, and as such, its source code is located in the kate/ directory.
