Hi,
Since Debian is leaning more and more towards systemd, especially with gvfs installed, and since systemd-init breaks my system, I finally sat on my back and migrated to Windows. It's not a good system either, but gets the job done.
Now, Geany under Win~1 has some deficiencies, due to gtk+, so I'll probably use it as a debugger only, and limit myself to the official releases. But if somebody decides to apply the spawning fix, or parsing the columns in compiler messages, or the small patch that adds virtual column to the status bar, I will be glad to help.
Also, if Scope has any problems building with or running under gtk+3, I'll fix them (some Linux programs are not replaceable, so I kept a small Debian system in dual boot). But there will be no gtk+4 support, at least not from me.

This is a joke right?
Seriously, I can understand that systemd is controversial, but not to the extend to abandon *Unix* altogether. There are many many ways to avoid systemd without going Windows, for example using a distro that doesn't use systemd (Gentoo, Slackware, etc) or one of the BSDs.
Or, as you are on debian already, install the legacy sysvinit. It will be fully supported at least throughout Jessie (so 5+ years). Or use Ubuntu 14.04, which is still using upstart and will also be supported until 2019. I'm sure all controversial points are solved by 2019, either by systemd or a fork.
I think it's just you leaning towards Windows. This is OK but don't blame systemd for it.
Best regards
A bit surprised as well, but just goes to show how divisive the systemd people and their successful attempts to pull all major distros on their side are for the whole Linux community. The critics are left with a feeling of total helplessness, as even Debian bent over willingly and swept aside things like portability with their own non-Linux variants, effectively abandoning them, just repeating the well layed-out systemd propaganda with nearly robotic obeyance. Lennart and co really demonstrate an example masterpiece of how to destroy a community, by constantly breaking promises, creating unnecessary dependencies to force their stuff down people's throats, calling every critic a dinosaur of the nineties and an emotionally unstable "systemd hater", all for the sake of a few seconds bootup speed.

I could not care less for being controversial - it's *broken* for me.
If I'm going to distro-hop, why not Windows? A working desktop, if nothing else.

I said I kept a minimal Linux system, and it's with sysv-init of course (systemd-init is almost unusable for me). But I had to downgrade + block the updates of about 10 other packages due to dependencies, and sooner or later, udev, gvfs or something else will start to require the latest systemd, which *insists* on being init. So "fully supported" is for very low values of "full".
"Supported until 2019" normally means "will be fine if you don't upgrade anything until 2019, except for security fixes". Thanks - but no thanks.

After 15 years of using Linux desktop, 3 of which as maintainer of a source-based distribution? :)
But you are right that systemd is not the only reason. KDE 4, GNOME 3, FF[1], the list goes on, and recently even gtk+ 2.24.23+ (IIRC the revision) is slightly broken. Guess I finally lost faith in the Linux as desktop. I hope, for all of you, that Xfce 5 will be just fine.

A mirror may only show what it reflects. A branch is judged by it's fruits, not the leaves, and the fruit of Linux desktop became sour. A koan can be found for any situation or opinion; here [1] is an illustrated collection of more than 150. :)
That being said, Win~1 is not good for everything. As expected, I have to boot Linux from time to time, but am using Geany less that before. Unsubscribing, then, is only a matter of time.

Have fun, then. Just fixed a few Windows Machines and again knew one reason to never, ever move to windows: The real-life requirement to install a third-party commercial virus scanner eating up half of my computer's resources just to be able to survive a few days on this platform.

Very true. I never praised Win~1 in the first place, and the lack of package manager is it's main system fault until W8. It'll take many years to see all applications migrate to Windows Store, and to have running random code from Internet blocked forever.
With the Linux distributions, the situation quite different, but not any better. You can (a) use the distribution packages only, and put up with things like K4, G3 and systemd; (b) compile packages from source, which is time consuming, and due to dependencies, you need to compile more and more of them; (c) block the unwanted updates - but again, due to dependencies, you have to block more and more. For a regular user, the only choice is (a), or install once and never update anything. Linux praises itself as a "free" operating system, but I can hardly imagine more totalitarian installation approach.
I used mainly distribution packages, of course, with some things compiled, some blocked, and even a 3rd party .deb or two, but managing the whole thing became too time consuming. As much as I hate them, the antivirus scanners at least work automatically.

I especially like these points in Ubuntu Mate's mission:

Anyway, I hope the team doesn't mind my sharing about this recent distro.

It's weird you (and others) seem to dismiss XFCE while citing this as a goal. I've been using Xubuntu for nearly as long as I've been using Linux and it's been a great distro+DE configuration; familiar, painless, configurable, minimal, few bugs, each distro upgrade goes super smooth, and otherwise the whole thing stays out of the way.
P.S. I have my fingers crossed Ubuntu will shield me from this systemd brouhaha I keep hearing about :)

It was actually Xubuntu 11.04 (so a few years ago) which broke when I dist-upgraded. The system wouldn't boot.

I don't mind XFCE. I seem to prefer LXDE. But ultimately I like the MATE menu with applications, places, and system, as well as having the configurability without having to edit menu entry files like in LXDE, although I think XFCE doesn't have that problem the little bit I've used it. I think my biggest problem with non-MATE solutions is that the desktop widget doesn't seem to work as well with compiz (showing what desktop you are on, etc), but all in all, I would take XFCE or LXDE over Gnome 3 or Unity any day for a desktop.
Personally, I am more annoyed with Gnome 3 than Unity, because it's like they've overwritten their code base to make themselves a new project that is incompatible with what we are used to. That said, Unity has caused some headaches with compiz configuration being catered to them.
If I had a bit more knowledge on how to make my own distro or if I could get a distro to adopt packages I like, I would personally like a distro with MATE + compiz + emerald, but even Ubuntu MATE doesn't have emerald yet (I've pushed, they suggested I make a ppa). Fortunately, that is the easiest thing to manually build and install compared to the other two. I also would consider PCManFM as a good file manager. It seems to have most of the features of nautilus/caja, but snappier/light weight. They just need to make a "Connect to Server..." dialog, and I would barely notice the difference.
All of this civil unrest/war in the linux community is one of the reasons I left making gedit plugins and am happily using geany now. Thanks for making an awesome editor! Please don't "gnome things up" by breaking all of your plugins or drastically changing something. I know there has been discussion of new plugin architectures, so hopefully they won't force me to re-write my plugins like gedit did.
Thanks,
Steve

Well, I think not. But I've heard there are some folks from Debian universe thinking about a fork without systemd, pulse etc... Let's see.
For the meanwhile even I really dislike the trend to make everything bigger and more integrated and bloated in favor of the Unix philosophy, Debian Testing is running smooth here with systemd I have to admit.

750MB of MinGW + MSYS, with it's own package manager. Though I probably installed too much stuff, especially autotools.
Several end-user programs are the same as in Linux. What do you know, even Transmission kind of runs on Win~1 these days.

Well.. These are my most important issues inside Windows world for me when really using it (beside the fact the closed source software wrong by default is, but this is not the matter of discussion). I've got issues with my eyes which forces me to use bigger font, higher contrast etc. Unfortunately a huge number of standard software on Windows seems to hard code their color schemas and fonts or hide them inside some cryptic properties menu (which I only can access with pain without changing the properties ...). With Windows 7 they changed a lot on UI configuration compaired to XP (not all of them are bad) and some of them do really a bad job. E.g. the thing that only FullHD seems be a valid option on viewing things -- every other screen seeting is just not working on my boxes. This is in combination with some of the vendors are not using Windows UI API (which is avaialble and from what I have seen is quiet ok in terms of acessibility) but doing there own stuff are doing a real bad job on me. So in private I'm not using Windows also because of such things, but at company my boss needs to pay the extra time I spent on this crap.
At the end just to name some peases of software wich I recognized as quiet bad during last years:
- Nearly everything from SAP starting with R/3 up to dbisql and other Sybase originated tools incl PowerBuilder and PowerDesigner - Aris - Eclipse - AFPS (some ERP tool) - VMWare Websphere (The Flash ESX admin client -- not yet tried the HTML5 version) - Cisco Admin console - ...
These tools might be powerful on there main function but they really suck if you are hadicapped. At Linux desktops I don't have such issue at least as long as vendors are using the API. So I can't really blame Microsoft for most the these things, but I've got the experince, if it comes to Windows/Java-World, Worls just sucks for people that are handicapped with their eys.
Just my rant against vendors not using nativ API and a closed software world which seems to support this behavior.

Welcome, I did the same when I replaced a broken laptop, installing Ubuntu, which refused to boot after I did a dist-upgrade. I didn't have the energy to download and reinstall another linux. The upside is that you don't have to dist-upgrade Windows just to run the latest software. The downside: no package management, malware, slow malware scanners.

It's worse with GTK3 too, it only makes any attempt to look "native" when you have themes activated in Windows, so if you are using the "classic" Windows theme, it falls back to the builtin GTK+ theme, which looks nothing like anything on any desktop.
- With gtk+2, randomly starts to eat several % of CPU time. Not a real
problem, except for laptops. With gtk+ 3.8, see "Geany with gtk+ 3.6.4 under Windows".
- Does not work with all monospaced TrueType fonts.
Maybe same issue as this, for me it also cuts off the last pixel or two (horizontally) of each character. Still usable like that but fonts look weird and it's distracting.
- Find in Files for locale texts is broken (passing locale file names to
tools is almost surely broken too, but the locale file names support in glib is terrible anyway). [1]
It's not usable out-of-the box either, unless someone happens to have grep utility in their %PATH%.
