Not entirely true.
At least for me, I didn't know much about GObject code when I began
writing Geany. And (much) later, I played with GObject code and think
it's quite ok though it still doesn't feel like real object-oriented
code but this is probably more a limitation of C, obviously :D.
To sum it up, I do like GObject, to some extend, but I'm afraid it's
just too late for Geany's code base to be converted.
At least for me, as my free time doesn't allow such thoughts.

This is also the reason why I don't participate such discussions about
big structural changes. I just don't want to get in the way of new
developments without having the chance to contribute anything useful in
a time period will we are able to live in...:D

Enrico
