Ahh vim :-)
The jedit editor does rectangular cut&paste. It is in fact an
*extremely* good general-purpose text editor. And has the "filesystem
pane" you were looking for, among many other "plugins". Because it's a
java app, though, I suspect it takes at least as much memory as Kate.
And it has the clunky swing look-and-feel (though with java1.5 coming
out, I hope the gnome l&f for swing has been much improved).
It's also nearly as configurable as emacs; almost every part of jedit
can be accessed via BeanShell (a java scripting language).
There is a debian source for jedit, or you can download & run the gui
installer. See www.jedit.org for more info.
