Geany also works on Windows and Macos and on many other DEs which don't seem to be listed as having backends here. Also not sure if Windows and Macos do dbus even.

Maybe I forgot the "on Linux" bit, not for use on other platforms where it could be either native (better) or just GTK 😝

Therefore supporting portals would require Geany to have two builds, one using portals and one using GTK with the associated maintenance and support.

Right, unless making portal/dbus mandatory deps on Linux/BSD, which is not the case.
macOS and Windows builds can still build as usual though.

GTK4 (if Geany ever gets there) has a native file chooser for Windows and Macos, but not Qt (can't think why not ;-)

That wouldn't help me as Linux user anyway, don't need a Qt implementation directly having portal, it can use any implementation using any toolkit depending on what the user wants
