A few things you should consider:

- KDevelop is not a central component of KDE - most non-programmers 
won't install it - it's not even part of the standard collection when 
building from source with konstruct.

- there are few things possible in KDevelop that are not available in 
Kate and that would be useful for POV-SDL work (except documentation 
integration maybe - see below).

- Documentation integration would indeed be an advantage since for 
KDevelop - you just need a toc file.  With such an index it is no 
problem OTOH to offer documentation lookup from Kate either (like 
already available for full text search on
