Kate is generally available on the Microsoft Store, https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/kate/9NWMW7BB59HW?hl=en-us&gl=us

Alas, the version available _right now_ is "Update Kate to 22.08.1" (which correlates with what is indeed installed) while on https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kate#versionhistory a newer version has been provisioned for a long time: "Kate 22.12.1	Sunday, January 8, 2023"

So, Kate 22.12.1 never made into the Microsoft Store.

It would be nice to always and consistently have the most current release version of Kate on the Microsoft Store, to stay up-to-date with Kate. After all the Microsoft Store is the first entry on https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ ;)

It is now updated to 23.04. The team is small and packaging sometimes takes a bit longer or doesn't happen at all. You can always get the latest version from the binary factory though.
