Geany

Geany is a powerful, stable, and lightweight programmer's text editor that offers a wealth of useful features without disrupting your workflow. It runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, is translated into over 40 languages, and comes with built-in support for more than 50 programming languages. **Fast and Compact** One of the primary reasons Geany exists is the need for a decent, GUI-based, lightweight, cross-platform, flexible, and powerful IDE/editor. Many editors meet some of these requirements but fall short in others. Geany strives to strike the perfect balance. **A Great Community** Geany is a fine example of classic free software. Licensed under GPL v2, Geany ensures not only that you can customize and tweak it, but also that everyone benefits from the changes made by the community. Geany boasts a vibrant community of professionals and enthusiasts who contribute improvements and fixes across multiple platforms, including mailing lists, GitHub, Matrix (#Geany:matrix.org), Mastodon, and Twitter. **Easy Customization** Many aspects of Geany are highly customizable, such as color themes (Geany Themes) or adding new file types. Additionally, Geany provides numerous settings that allow you to tailor it to your needs and preferences. **Wide Range of File Types** Geany supports many file types, including popular programming languages like C, Java, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, Python, and Perl. But it also includes support for other useful file types, such as INI-style configuration files, Diff output, SQL files, and more. **Extensive Plugins** With Geany's plugin system, users can expand its functionality, and developers can easily add new features or enhance existing ones.

Geany is a powerful, stable, and lightweight programmer’s text editor designed to offer rich, practical features without disrupting workflow, aiming to be a cross-platform IDE/editor that balances lightness and power.
