Kate is a text editor, TextEdit and Pages are word processors. I'd also love Kate (or Notepad++) on macos, they're just kinda a non sequitur.

TextEdit is a text editor, which has had an optional WYSIWYG word processing mode added to it --- hit cmd shift t to go into text edit mode.

Well, I guess I should have actually explored the menu, but I've been using macOS since 2005 and did not know this.

I've just been using CotEditor or Visual Studio Code (and Sublime Text in the past) whenever I need a plaintext editor.

Which is how I use it most of the time.

It’s like notepad + wordpad in one. Great little app.

Kate runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS already
