    Can someone explain what the changelog items mean in ways a non developer could understand?

        Thanks! From the video it looks much as I remember it. I always found it to be a solid 80% with the balance being a lot of small issues that added up to be annoying in totality. So if there are under the hood improvements maybe the effect will be to smooth it out and add another 5-10%.

        My major recollection is that there were issues with the syntax highlighting and related features. That is handled by outside library so Geany just kind of gets what it gets. Maybe those projects could have improved over time. Anyway definitely worth switching back from kate once the update arrives at the manjaro repos in the coming days.

          Yeah, I just installed Geany 2 to test, but I always used Kate. Let’s see if Geany can replace it. 🙂

            Cool you should post an update of how it goes.

            Everyone is comparing geany to vscode; i guess because it is so widely used. But i think kate is the most comperable project. They both have similar structures and even some of the same problems for my use case.

            For someone looking for a more vscode type experience (without the fking electron) they should check out cudatext.
