I'm happily using Quanta as a KDE3 legacy program under KDE4 on Slackware and 
all I want is a Quanta that works under KDE4 directly. 

My understanding is that Quanta and Kdevelop both use or used the Kate editor. 
If I'm right and there is a Vim or Emacs mode for Kate then people can use 
that but if not then please don't change the editor - leave that to the editor 
developers. I could use Kate for all my html editing but I'm lazy and want the 
code completion plus project awareness that quanta has under kde3.
