I wasn't not trying to convince him, nevertheless his complaints about Firefox didn't explain anything about why it isn't going to be done, making his whole post poorly helpful to the thread.
I'm not the one asking for the feature (and I don't plan to ask for it), but I'm still curious why features are rejected.
He actually did explain, even in his first response. If you go back and read it, you will see that the very first thing he said was that adding that feature would make Geany bigger and slower.
He then brought up Firefox to show the path that he did not want Geany to follow.
It was very clear to me already from his first response, but he continued with a second, more detailed response anyway. I think he has done more than enough to explain why he's not adding the feature to Geany.
Really, I have to say the developers of Geany are not only good at software, but very patient in dealing with people as well. Much more patient and helpful than average, in my opinion.
