Not sure how important it is to emphasize IDE part, but it is lightweight for sure. It's a capable editor. GTK based, which means on Windows the UX is not native. Still, it can be installed stand alone, GTK is packaged in. It's not wise that they omitted including most of the plugins on Windows, as it kills its main selling point. Noone is going to bother to build plugins while on Windows. I hope it was just a recent packaging glitch, as MacOS version comes with all plugins built along, which you can enable on demand. It's a nice altenative for quick exploratory work on some unknown codebases, as Geany extracts/indexes tags and allows one to jump to function defs, vars and such. However you need to have the relevant files already opened, otherwise you need to resort to Find in files to locate where function/ symbol is defined. This may be tedious in heavily structured projects. That's where an actual IDE excells. But it works! It's a nice tool to have in a portable toolbox... However, looking through its GitHub pages looks like the developers are tired. By the way, on Windows a nice lightweight alternative is `notepad2-mod`, also Scintilla based, needs no installation, native UI (a little bit too verbose menus).
