I feel really nostalgic about Geany. That was my favorite editor back in the time, before I switched to Vim almost 10 years ago. It was pretty solid already. Good to see it's doing well after all these new/modern editors started to pop up.

I also went from Geany to Vim.

I found Geany really useful when I'd just started programming, as it has some useful features, like file browser, symbol list and terminal window, while not being as overwhelming as Eclipse with its project management and autogenerated code, "marketplace" and whatnot.

Very similar story here: About 10 years ago I used it for a few years, eventually I switched (with a new project) to Kdevelop, next to Eclipse (because of Java) and finally to Vim.

But after all that time I still remember Geany very positively as a decent Editor/IDE, not too fancy but as a tool to get the job done. Nice to the see the project still alive.
