IMO on macos, geany feels more alien than electron-based editors (vscode, etc). I think this is because it sort of falls into an uncanny valley of UI where it's _almost_ native looking, but noticeably different; whereas electron-based editors don't even try and so are less jarring.
Geany is definitely my fav editor on linux though.
- 2devnull 4y agoThat’s probably the reason. Most Mac users stick to Macs exclusively, whereas Linux and windows users are more likely to use both windows and *nix so having a single cross platform editor, besides vim/emacs, is useful.
