[Github-comments] [geany] Suggestion: Migrate to GTK3 (#644)

[elextr]

The official release is still GTK2.  All the GTK2 calls that have been
deprecated in GTK3 have not yet been replaced in Geany, so the GTK3 compile
isn't "clean".

Until recent GTK3s the performance was also noticably poorer than GTK2, and
LTS distros may not yet have upgraded to a performant version.

So for now the GTK3 Geany isn't quite suitable for being the default build.

There is nothing stopping distro packagers packaging the GTK3 version of
course, and I think some bleeding edge distros have done just that.
