<p>...C++14 is supported since gcc 5 and this one was released five years ago.<br>
I think it is reasonable to require a compiler from 2015...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I believe Scintilla is using C++17 features, so probably more like 2016-2018 for GCC, depending on which features Scintilla uses.</p>

<p>Users who compile Geany themselves and use systems which are older than this, have to stick also with an older version of Geany.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not necessarily. They can still use the latest greatest Geany, they just have to install an extra toolchain/stdlib in addition to the one that their distro ships with. It's more effort, but it's not exactly rocket science.</p>

<p>I would not vote for maintaining a LTS release.</p>
