Hi, Zhenech
You said in IRC, that Geany is the best and I should terminate my project. I can't stand and will troll you back ... ;)
I found few problems while have been using Geany:
[...] 2. After file has been changed on disk, Geany does not show it with icon. I don't know, that file has been changed, until activated it. 3. When I activate file, changed on disk, Geany interrupts me with modal dialogue, even if now I just want to move to next file after changed one.

[...] 11. Geany uses main menu to switch current file indentation mode. IMHO it is better to use status bar button, which is both indicator and switcher. I spend about 1 min to find item in the main menu and now don't remember, where it is located.
It should definitively be in the menu, but I agree having a shortcut through the status bar is a good idea. I've been planning to implement this once I get some time.

Programmers aren't regular people :)
[...] I would join the project and fix it themselves, if it hadn't 1 really critical problem:
Coding in C is very slow. Scintilla and Geany can't make progressquickly
Ah! That explains why almost every successful desktop application is written in Python instead of C/C++! </sarcasm>
