I’ve tested out many GUI editors on Ubuntu and I have to say that Geany is hands down my favorite. Your needs may be different but it suits mine really well.
Highly recommended.
I like it a lot too. I use it for editing R code, and it’s the only editor I know of that has both R syntax highlighting and autocompletion – two things I really want.
Great piece of software!
For me it’s one of the best editors for programmers. It’s very quick, stable and reliable since many years ago (I can’t understand why it is not in 1.0 version already) and like the article states it has a lot of features.
I use it everydays to develop with python. Also, Geany mailing list is very helpful when you have a problem, idea or suggestion.
I highly recommend Geany. I have been using it for over a year in an academic environment, and now I use it in a professional enviroment. I have used it with C++, C, PHP, Perl, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. They all work very well.
