I'm interested in, what editor/IDE did you use before you got know of Geany?
On Linux/X11, I have used NEdit for a long time for nearly everything. Mostly I use Geany now, but I still use NEdit sometimes, mostly out of habit, but occasionally for some feature Geany doesn't have (yet)
For times when an X environment isn't available, vim and emacs make my head hurt! My favorite console text editor is "le"
When I'm forced to work in MS-Windows, mostly I have used metapad or crEdit, but the Win32 version of Geany looks promising...
