About

Geany is a powerful, stable and lightweight programmer's text editor that provides tons of useful features without bogging down your workflow. It runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS is translated into over 40 languages, and has built-in support for more than 50 programming languages. One the primary reasons for Geany's existence is that there is a need for a decent, GUI, lightweight, cross-platform, flexible and powerful IDE/editor. Many editors meet one or more of these requirements but fall short on others. Using the GPL v2 license, Geany assures that not only can you customize and hack it, but that everyone benefits from changes the community makes. Many parts of Geany are heavily customizable like color themes (Geany Themes) or adding new filetypes. Furthermore, Geany provides many settings to let you adjust it to your needs and preferences. Many supported filetypes including popular programming languages like C, Java, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, etc.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great HTML editor with split view. Fast editing. Nice user interface. Dark theme support. Alternative to DreamWeaver.
  • Lots and lots of features. I am especially in love with its ability to create a table of contents. I will generate beautifully simple HTML/CSS, because it's not a word processor and it doesn't try to create beautiful documents, it's an HTML editor and it creates HTML documents.

Cons

  • Paid $90 for a license, didn't get a license, author unresponsive.
  • It unreliable. Every once in a while, it will break. Deleting the configuration files and reinstalling it doesn't help. I have gotten no help from the author.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Block editing, macros, plugins, highly configurable. once you explore all the capabilities, you may change your editing habits. It's for free!

Cons

  • Takes a while, to learn all the features, but it's worth it. Actually, I do not miss any editing features for my daily work.
