I ignored Geany for years.

Sometimes it came preinstalled, so I knew about it. I didn’t program, why would I need more than, say, whatever the basic text editor was?

Then I found myself in the position of only having one working computer (other than my company-provided laptop): a raspberry pi 400. The Raspberry Pi Desktop (Debian) comes with Geany preinstalled and I just started using it one day. I got it. It is light, it has some extra options, plugins, themes… Looking forward to updating later to see if there are any big changes.
