Geany is a small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK2 runtime libraries.

The Notepad++ for GNU/Linux distros

Positive Comment by BjornR about Geany Notepad++ Mar 2012

Having used Windows operating systems for twelve years, the switch to a GNU/Linux one made me having to miss some known applications. Notepad++ is one of them.

Geany behaves the same way and if i didn't know any better i'd say it's an extended Notepad++. It's worth checking out the extra's such as the extended snippets file at http://www.geany.org/Download/Extras

I love this application!

Just an observation: Geany's text editing component is Scintilla, which is also the component for SCite.

Comment by Aaron about Geany Jun 2009

I wanted to write in python and on Ubuntu there is not really any program to specifically edit python code. but this program allows me to edit the python code with all the line numbering and such that I want in a code language editor.
