Macro language/record/playback, "named" instances, jump to
an externally selected line number, ctrl+tab to insert tab
chars even when "use spaces" is enabled, bookmarks, moving
tabs between windows, better regular expression support
e.g. multi-line matching and sub-expression replacement...

But on the flip side, Geany also has lots of features that
NEdit doesn't have, and because there are new releases of
Geany and GTK every few months, and new releases of NEdit
and Motif every few years (or not), it's easy to guess which
editor will be the most "complete" in the future.
