I just mean that the study of such applications is not new, like some
canonical texts such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns,
specifically 2.1.
We also have all of those that came before, like borland, ms, anjuta,
vim, emacs, eclipse, gedit, mousepad, netbeans, qtcreator, xcode, and
42.0 billion more examples, many of which we can study their source
code or even overall architecture and see some good/bad ways to code
stuff.
For something more concrete, maybe take Cocoa's document architecture;

It might not be Geany-style C, but a lot these ideas are known and
used elsewhere, probably even inherited from the first link. I just
suggest we could copy some of them too, rather than looser ad-hoc
coding :)
I think you should formulate your specific vision for Geany, perhaps on
the wiki or so. It doesn't help me if you list projects or books which I
could possibly look at (which I'm not gonna do because it would take
ages to grasp their model and consider advantages and disadvantages)
because I don't know what's so horrible about status quo. As a result I
lack motivation to evaluate alternatives.
Best regards.
