Hello
I have Linux 4.14.13-300.fc27.x86_64 and xfce
Due a few years I used quanta+ editor for PHP and html programming. But it becomes too heavy with every upgrading of system with considering of not wide functionality so I decided to look for alternatives.
Geany looked good but unfortunately after 30-60 minutes of using it starts work slowly and in 5 minutes after hangs at all (positive that without hanging of rest system).
This issue repeated few times and I decided to ask advice here.
Can I do something or under linux really no gui alternatives (like notepad++ under windows) for fast and easy programming?
