I really can't emphasise enough how good an idea this is. As someone

easy to deploy package on both platforms, and it would be a good
'gateway drug' to them making use of KF5 in their own code. Having a
small targeted goal like deploying Kate would be also give the Win and
Mac teams clear achievable goals to work towards in getting KF5 ready
with active feedback from the Kate community.
I agree on both points. Both Mac and Windows lack a simple installer, and in
reality sometimes all I want on OS X is Kate (a proper KDevelop would be nice
too).
I use Kate on OS X almost daily building out of MacPorts. Most issues seem to
be related to OS integration and retina (high DPI) support. Isn't this a thing
with KDE on other platforms as a whole? This would not only fix Mac, but it
would also fix how KDE functions on a high DPI screen (on other platforms
besides OS X).

KDE for Windows lets you install Kate. You don't have to install the KDE
desktop, just Kate and , if you like, Find Files.
