Even when not triggered that often, the lag is really annoying... Reminds me of the Eclipse editor an ex-collegue of mine used: the ultimate test for blind typing! Eclipse was always one word behind... ;)
Its very mean saying Geany is like Eclipse [tantrum] :-(
I didn't say that! I said the lag introduced by geanyprj reminded me of a laggy Eclipse which was really slow on it's own, even without the "aid" of a plugin ;)
I use geany for it's speed and simplicity, a lag doesn't fit in that description.
Sigh, plugin systems are great because they allow anyone to add functionality that they want. Sigh, plugin systems are a problem because they allow anyone to add functionality any way they want. :-)
The Geany team doesn't have the resources to manage all the plugins and ensure that they fit the philosophy or how well they are implemented and maintained. But Geany still gets the blame :-(
That is indeed the downside of plugins, but I can't imagine Geany without it.
