@codebrainz you forgot the </rant> :) But basically took the words out of my mouth. 👎

@arigit Adding an extra action to get the menus every operation does not improve usability. The point of a menu interface is to make it easier to use than apps like vim or emacs that are totally keyboard driven (or were, they both now have menus IIUC :) Whilst Geany is not specifically targetted at "my first IDE" its also not targeted at leet developers only, its a happy middle ground.

Of course GUIs are very personal things, and what is the best GUI for a particular app varies, but Geany has attracted contributors who seem to appreciate the effectiveness of a traditional GUI in this use-case. So I suspect you won't get much support for a GUI "refresh" without providing significant real world data that demonstrates an improvement in effectiveness. Simply "its new" won't cut it. And also being tied to a specific platform and desktop isn't acceptable either.
