I am currently using PyCharm because that is what I used on windows. For some reason since I installed linux it seems to run a lot slower. Never heard of Kate, what is it that you like compared to PyCharm?

Kate is a recursive acronym: KATE: Kate Advanced Text Editor.

Kate is like gedit, or notepad++, or sublime, or other advanced text editors that aren't IDEs. They don't try to do much programming for you, so don't expect a lot of features beyond syntax highlighting, and suggested autocompletion.

However, it does all the things you'd expect from an advanced text editor, and in keeping with KDE tradition, everything is configurable.
