I think it's already been expressed here, but I would say that (within
the realm of what is possible), Geany should continue to work
comfortably in any window manager / desktop environment. While I've
grown to tolerate Gnome3 over the last year (mainly because I don't
have time to properly test the alternatives), I expect to abandon it in
the future in favour of something a little less GPU heavy.

I'm very interested in this (potential) architectural change, and
should I find myself with time in the future (not going to happen for
at least another few months) I'd be quite interested in trying to
contribute.

Regards,

Jon
