<p>As did I, maybe a PR to remove it from Geany? [ducks] grin</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While I realize that was written in jest, from a user perspective, I would prefer that auto close be removed from Geany and improvements redirected toward the auto-close plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Geany implementation doesn't do anything that can't be done in a plugin.</li>
<li>The preferences dialog is complicated.  It's difficult to find features I know exist.  Removing features that are implemented in plugins would make other features easier to find.</li>
<li>The auto-close plugin is clearly named, so users who want it are likely to find it.  Chances are good that people who have seen the plugin manager know that the auto-close plugin exists, but don't know about the Geany implementation.</li>
<li>The plugin implementation is more capable than the Geany implementation.</li>
<li>Even if the Geany implementation is improved, it will be disabled by people who <em>still</em> think it's broken or who want the more advanced features that the plugin provides.</li>
</ul>
<p>From the perspective of someone who has looked at the source (but is <em>not</em> a developer)... removing auto close from Geany would make the source easier to understand and work with, while the plugin ensures that no functionality is lost.</p>
