  Someone not familiar with these companies might see that as a success. Those who are familiar know that both KDAB, as well as Qt are two-decade long supporters of KDE. As for the third contributor, I doubt it would know/use KDE software if you wouldn't work for them.
  
  But KSyntaxHighlighting is a bit special. All other syntax highlighting engines I know are for the web (written in scripting languages), so our offering indeed fills a niche.
