Is it needed then? It didn't seem to do anything for me - is it not always 
possible to just click on an edit window, so you can type in it? I often find 
I've just type into the edit window when I thought the konsole had focus - 
that is really annoying. It happens in kate too, so it doesn't just seem to 
be kdevelop's version of kmdi.

Can I assume nobody wants to keep the 'Switch to..' menu option and I can 
remove that without controversy?

Well, I agree it doesn't seem to be a settting to me either. But I really 
think it should be in the same place in every KDE app.
