As far as I know, ktikz provide a real time preview for tikz code. So, if someone use e.g. latexmk and put its regular tex code and preview things it could replace the ktikz functionality.
However, what I think is immensely important and helpful in visual part is doing these two things at least:
Having a tikzpicture, through the visual preview one could move the nodes or at least the coordinates
Having a tikzpiture, one could change the style, color, etc.
Without these functionality I do not see how ktikz help if someone have an proper tool (with echo example.tex | entr -c make I can have ktikz/qtikz functionality). However, if KTikz could provide some visual manipulation tool as simple as moving coordinates visually that's great, I think.
p.s. This is very similar to inactive TikzEdt project
