Yeh, I gotta pipe up here too. I've been using Geany on Linux and Windows for a couple years (gee, time flies). I do the major development stuff in visual studio. It's got all the bells and whistles and horns and lights and da da da.... But when I just want to write something quick and dirty (mostly 'c' some html) I like to be able to click on the icon and a half second later there's geany. When I click on VS, 5 minutes later there's the studio.
Geany is a GREAT tool. Please don't make it a 'big deal' IDE.
Thanks guys, very sweet. Even if I don't think Thomas intended any offence. He was completely right about asking for more detailed reasons than just flaming about Firefox :). And he was also right about my quoting style, I could have done this better. Regarding the double mail he received (Thomas and I talked about that shortly on IRC afterwards), I'm not yet sure. If only he got my mail twice, it was probably a problem between uvena's mail server and his one, if anyone else got that mail twice, please make some noise.
To get slightly back to the topic: the restore tab feature(and some of the extensions I and others mentioned) probably can be implemented as a plugin, missing bits in the plugin API can be added as necessary. No problem at all.
And in general, I really hate rejecting features but I also hate to get away from the initial goal: being lightweight. We are already much more away from this than I'd like though this doesn't mean we won't add more features in the future, just to not add *anything*.
and Enrico, thanks!
Don't forget Nick and Frank, who are also developing Geany and doing a great job too. It's not me alone! And of course, don't forget all the contributors, Thomas is one of them.
