christian, I use geany for coding in LaTeX, and occasionally teaching myself some programming stuff when I have free time. I’m aware it’s not a great choice for experienced programmers, but I don’t really need something feature-rich and extensive, so I appreciate the simplicity.
norambna, I use VSCode for coding, but if it’s a small script or pure text files, then I use Geany.
possiblylinux127, I want to like geany. However, its just not customizable and it lacks support for a lot of things.
ganymede, not customizable
themes, plugins, ridiculously easy custom configurations/build commands etc you can even control the window manager from config files if you want to, its insanely customisable
lacks support for a lot of things
edit: trying to sound less snarky, but do you have a lot of examples?
i could see these criticisms arising from a quick glance. or we may have slightly different definitions of these terms. which is fair enough.
imo geany’s ratio of features to weight is remarkable, perhaps singularly so?
possiblylinux127, I just know I wasn’t able to get code suggestions, highlighting or error highlighting working. There might be a way but I spend a bunch of time on it and accomplished nothing. If there is a way it isn’t obvious
ganymede, suggestions should work by default, if by which you mean basic completion of names etc
anyway fair enough, its not for everyone.
sorry for being a bit overly defensive, i just really love geany lol
