Hi, Zhenech

You said in IRC, that Geany is the best and I should terminate my project.
I can't stand and will troll you back ...   ;)

I found few problems while have been using Geany:

[...]
2. After file has been changed on disk, Geany does not show it with
icon. I don't know, that file has been changed, until activated it.
3. When I activate file, changed on disk, Geany interrupts me with modal
dialogue, even if now I just want to move to next file after changed one.

it just wastes space on the screen, All experienced users use shortcuts.

[...]
11. Geany uses main menu to switch current file indentation mode. IMHO
it is better to use status bar button, which is both indicator and
switcher. I spend about 1 min to find item in the main menu and now
don't remember, where it is located.

It should definitively be in the menu, but I agree having a shortcut through the status bar is a good idea. I've been planning to implement this once I get some time.

intuitive and simple. People don't like reading docs.

Programmers aren't regular people :)

I would join the project and fix it themselves, if it hadn't 1 really
critical problem:

     Coding in C is very slow. Scintilla and Geany can't make progress
quickly


Ah! That explains why almost every successful desktop application is written in Python instead of C/C++! </sarcasm>

Cheers,
