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.
