* Multiple codepage support "not just UTF-8"
 The ability to Open/Save files in multiple encodings
* An encodings menu to change the encoding on the fly
* Display the used encoding in the statusbar
* All the configured keyboard layouts are available from the layout 
switcher.
* An emulator to be able to write in your language even if you don't 
configure a keyboard layout.
* Per document settings on the fly.
* An extended toolbar offering some common functions.
* Complete BiDi support.

I didn't list the features found in the developmental version of gedit
I know nothing about kedit though.
