In Ubuntu, formatting drives is a simple process: simply select it and tell Ubuntu what you want done with it.
My question is; is there any tool as easy as that for Kubuntu?

KDE Partition Manager is available in the repositories, sudo apt-get install partitionmanager
It is a KDE front end for libparted, the same technology behind Ubuntu's partition manager. It can be used to not just format drives, but also create, resize, and move partitions.

5Shame there is no 'format' option like GNOME's context menu, though :/ – Dante Ashton Oct 15 '10 at 16:30

2You need to delete and create a new partition in order for effect a format? – SabreWolfy Oct 22 '13 at 19:36

1This did not answer the question. The tool doesn't have a format option at all. – Shiv_90 Nov 10 '21 at 08:56

I love all the accepted wrong answers on this site. As @Shiv_90 noted this doesn't have a format option, period, and my mmcblk device doesn't even show up in the device list. – ghostly_s Oct 10 '22 at 23:06
