Comments and Reviews
I don’t find Lines very intuitive, and I don’t think it gives you great help on programming. Maybe I overlooked something, but there was no code coloring in my case, a weak autocompletion, I could not find a way to choose a programming language, and so on.
My favourites are Geany for Python, Ruby, C and such, and Bluefish for HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Changing the font and font size is very easy in Lines, which I was very pleased of, as some editors I tried did not give you the opportunity to do so, and the font size was way too small for me. Also, Lines looks quite pretty with its default theme.
And, well, it could be used as a nice text editor instead of code editor, in my opinion.
