I use nano. I just don't like it anyhting like as much.
Of course not.

Debian, by default, will not run a GUI as root. So if oyu try to run a GUI
application from the root Konsole you get:
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi# kwrite
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi#

running Debian have to do with whatever your objection with Konq and/or
Konsole is? Lisi Reisz composed on 2015-07-29 23:22

I can't get there. I run Debian. Dan Youngquist wrote:

Unfortunately Konqueror and Konsole. :-(
What's wrong with getting where you need to go via Konsole? How often due you find it necesary to edit as root? Is
there some
problem using a readily available but more generic editor instead of
KWrite for such tasks?
Not often. But when I do I find KWrite much the best for me. I don't
have ot run TDE. I could run KDE44 or Gnome or LXDE. I don't have ot
run KWrite. In fact, at the moment I can't run KWrite as root, but I want
to run KWrite. And yes, there is a problem - I can't see anything else as
well. But even if there weren't, why shouldn't I try to run it just
because I want to? I shall
continue to try to use those facilities of TDE that I have
particularly valued over the years. If I can't, I can't. One day I may
even be forced to choose between KDE4 and Windows.
We don't want that, especially Win10, with its expanded intrusion on
privacy. ;-)

Is the root shell option missing from your Konsole menu too?

Are these Konsole session menu options missing on Jessie? MCEdit is how
most system configuration maintenance gets done on all my installations.
And of course, MC is one of the oldest and most feature packed file
managers available. http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/Paradigm/
Sorry, I can't see what you are getting at here. But no, Konsole doesn't
offer me mc. Probably because I haven't got mc installed. 
I find it inexplicable that default installs cant be bothered to include
this unequaled tool. :-(
Debian has decided not to allow GUI root log-ins. It is not a case of "not
being bothered", and there is nothing wrong with Konsole (which is supplied
by TDE, not Debian). mc is missing only because I have not got mc installed.
You didn't ask about the rest of the menu.
In R14 <tdesu konsole> doesn't work either, but is easier to work round.
