tell me /g/, why do so few people use geany? Is it really that

It's not inferior at all. I used it when I learned C++ and it was comfortable.

I use it a lot for mostly C/C++ but it works well with others. Minimalistic but works better than a plain text editor overall.

Someone needs to bring Geany up to date because its missing to many basic features like just being able to format code with automatic indentation. Sublime comes with the feature to run code in the editor console like Geany but its a lot harder to set up than Geany and if you get stuck in an infinite loop there is no way to break out of the console in Sublime and you have to shut down the process in your OS. I do think Geany has the potential to be the best editor for running scripts and compiling to the command line, it does this better than any other editor, but it really needs to be brought up to date. A dark theme would help a lot too.

Geany is awesome. Very lightweight and runs practically the same on every platform.

I'd love it more if it had a better quick macro system. Having to give a name and assign a key combo every time is a pain for one time stuff.

One annoying bug I've had with it is that occasionally the window positioning changes inexplicably on startup. I solved that by making the config read-only, but that introduces another set of issues.

As far as simple foss text editors go it's the best around.

Yeah, it's current theme burns my eyes... one of its more antiquated features

I (OP) brought it up because it seems fairly robust for what it is, comes preinstalled on my native linux distro (bunsenlabs), and doesn't seem bad. Maybe I've been on /g/ too much, but it seems mentioning other editors/IDEs tends to start a flame war while geany gets little to no discussion
