geany

[Fabrizio Furnari]

Hi Denis,
I already use geany and I know it very well. In my opinion it could be a
very useful alternative to kate, and I agree with your proposal but I don't
know if kate could be necessary for some workflows.
I think here Luca or Alessandro could help us to check this...

Ciao,

Fabrizio
