The best thing about geany is that it is powerful because it is simple intuitive and just works.
The closest parallel I can think of is eproject and ecb from emacs.
I haven't used these, but a quick look at the docs doesn't suggest anything very revolutionary. Most of what these do is covered (as best I can tell) by Geany capabilities or plugins.
BTW have you checked on what the plugins can do for you? As you say above the Geany philosophy is KISS, so things are put in plugins so that users can choose the parts they want, they are not forced to load a lot of functionality they don't want. And in a tool supporting lots of computer languages that is important, when I am doing C I don't want that Ruby rubbish, but when I am doing Ruby ...
Of course that needs people to look at the plugins, but other than more enthusiastically urging users to do that, I am not sure how to document them as part of Geany as some are provided (with many thanks) from outside the Geany team.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, there is also another "project" plugin coming that claims to do file handling and filtering for *very* large projects.
A project should be a directory with a collection of files that you are managing.
So if I had a project called "new_Project"
new_Project Source_Files main.rb does_Something.rb Something.rhtml (Optional) Spec files(Project Specific) - you have acknlowledged above. Junit/Rake files etc
Also, you do know that you can define commands in the project settings, and they are only applied when that project is open? This allows you to have different commands for projects in different languages or which use different tools. I even have had a project with two project files one for windows and one for Linux with differing commands, I am not aware of that available anywhere else.

Seriously :- ) , no, wow no idea will have a look.
I saw an email previously about a wiki, this may understand all the options available.
