Geany is a GTK2 toolkit-based text editor that functions as an integrated development environment, featuring basic capabilities.
Geany is an excellent choice for those requiring an Integrated Development Environment that is lightweight, efficient and fast. One of the primary goals when developing Geany was to ensure that it relied on as few dependencies as possible, making it a truly independent tool. Unlike other IDEs, Geany does not require a specific desktop environment such as KDE or GNOME.
Geany is designed to use only the GTK2 toolkit, meaning you only need to install the GTK2 runtime libraries to run it. This gives it an advantage over other Integrated Development Environments in terms of resource usage, making it ideal for developers working with older hardware or operating systems.
Overall, Geany provides a fantastic choice for developers in need of a fast, lightweight IDE without compromising on functionality or features. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting out, Geany is definitely worth a try.
