[Geany-Devel] A direction for Geany

[Steven Blatnick]

LOL.  I will say that my initial reason for preferring gtksourceview 
when I was looking for another editor was the native feel, which is a 
major reason I was only looking at gtk-based editors.  Maybe my 
experiences are just because Geany has done such a darn good job of 
using scintilla while gedit hasn't done such a good job of using 
gtksourceview :-)
