Well.... At least from my end:
Editing a file as root via UI usually (not everyone, not always…) is a 
thing, beginners want to do. I totally understand this, that's being 
said. But this might end up setting to run Geany as root always which 
will might cause unreadable files or maybe unwanted edits in system 
files etc. If you always cross a street at red traffic lights you will 
stop being careful at some point.

Just my 2ct ;)
