Yes, it's different. You have to differentiate between the 'kate app' and 
the 'kate part'.
the kate part (kdelibs/kate/) is an implementation of the ktexteditor 
interfaces (kdelibs/interfaces/ktexteditor).
the kate app uses the ktexteditor interfaces to get an editor 
implementation. but the kate app never knows that it's using a kate part -- 
it's just using the interfaces.

now to the plugins: the ktexteditor interfaces define a plugin interface. 
the kate app also defines a plugin interface.
on kate app level plugins can have a sidebar (like the document list). on 
kate part level, you can only have a KXMLGuiClient and do Document + View 
manipluation.

The kate part uses KPluginSelector for its plugin configuration.

The kate app uses a simple list view and a (currently missing) configure 
button to enable/disable and configure plugins.

part of the reason the kate app does not use KPluginSelector is that we'd 
have to change the interfaces in a way that is simply not acceptible.

hope this helps.
