Hi Colin,

I'm coming around to think that Geany as a text editor is fine, but as a code editor it may leave a bit to be desired.
I can tell you some do use it as such happily :)

Most mobile programmers, programmers that move around, may not always have the best connection, so mounting a remote server directory may not always be a viable option. Thus needing ftp to upload files on a case by case basis.
Why not using a DVCS (like Git) for that purpose? Commit local changes to e.g. Git, and push/pull them to the test env, etc. Git even allows hooks, so it can be completely automated when committing; or whatever.
I mean, what I do when doing web programming (not that often I admit) is that I modify files in a local test env on my computer (where nobody but I care it it sops working), and when I'm done I commit it to the VCS, and push it to the next step (serious test env, or production).
Just a thought.
Cheers, Colomban

PPS: BTW, although it's unfortunately not yet pre-built on Windows, there is a little Geany plugin that can display & inspect a web page (using Webkit), and that cab automatically be updated whenever you save a file, allowing you to directly see the result. That might perhaps be of some interest to you. http://plugins.geany.org/webhelper.html
