Apart from Ian, I talked to some people using this in #kate. So yes, it is 
used.

Afaik there is no kate specific documentation, but it's not that hard. The 
main problem for people is usually getting to the correct document/view.

The main advantage compared to javascript is the ability to use external apps. 
I plan to clean up all our shell interactions at some point, and then 
interacting with commands will be possible in a manner that can be described 
as the external tools combined with textfilter, but with more flexibility 
again. That would be good enough I guess.
