KWrite is very simply to use. I am sure that if you have ever used a text edit you will have no problems with KWrite.
KWrite makes use of the KDE Drag and Drop protocol. This means that you can darg and drop files form the Desktop or kfm or some remote ftp site that you have open in one of kfm's windows on to KWrite.
You can open and save files transparently on the internet. Try the the following at the command-line prompt to see an example of this.
% kwrite ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Welcome.msg
