Hi

I just heard on Phoronix that Geany has been bundled in the default
Raspbian image \(^-^)/

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Raspbian-May-2016

That's a huge audience to be exposed to the editor.

That's really nice to hear. Geany works very well on Raspberry 3 (and I'd expect 2 as well), it's just a bit laggy on Raspberry 1 (GtkSourceView-based editors seem to be a bit faster on Raspberry 1 than the Scintilla-based ones, I think it has something to do with redrawing). Anyway, Geany is a great match for Raspberry - a lightweight IDE for a lightweight computer.

Cheers,

Jiri
