I have seen Geany around and am pretty intrigued by the update. I primarily use Kate but would love to hear folks' thoughts on Geany and if anyone recommends it.

It's a REALLY good software for a lightweight dev environment. You need to be a more experienced user than a typical "IDE" audience (or rather, more patience to learn and build your flow) but it's a good editor.

Sounds perfect for me! I tend to do a lot of lightweight web stuff so I will definitely be giving it a go shortly! Love Kate but I am always curious to try out new editors. Appreciate the recommendation!
