(Since the GNOME leadership and Guix leaders have worked together to take over GNU for corporations, we might as well call it GNOME Guix as it’s the same evil force). You may want an editor for example, that uses Tk instead of gtk or Qt - no HarfBuzz! Of course some jerk will probably make Tk require HarfBuzz in the future, just like the jerk who added it to Emacs, which is why sooner or later we will probably need a new GNU-like Project - one that actually respects your freedom, instead of selling it out to Microsoft and people like the GNOME Guix traitors.

“If free software really benefits from education, then telling people not to learn more about creating software by working on a simple text editor project makes no sense at all.”Sure, there are projects you could be helping, though creating a text editor really doesn’t hurt them unless you’re contributing your new software to some hostile cause, like Open Source or Microsoft GitHub.īesides, if the GNU Project is going to do self destructive things like have an (ongoing!) coup around Codes of Censorship, or introduce Microsoft HarfBuzz into Emacs as it did very recently, then you are only helping by creating projects that avoid such problems. If free software really benefits from education, then telling people not to learn more about creating software by working on a simple text editor project makes no sense at all. If computing is really about our freedom, then telling people not to make another text editor makes no sense at all.
Not when I’ve read Stallman on the GNU mailing lists saying similar things (albeit a very long time ago). Yes, I love blaming Open Source for things when it fits - and it often does - but not when I know better. I would blame Open Source for this attitude, except I’ve seen it from the GNU Project itself (even from Stallman). I would say that it comes from Open Source, because that’s a bait-and-switch scam that treats all free software programs more like a corporate product than community-based project. In a world where software is a product, I would get this attitude. But if it’s easier or simpler to write it yourself so it does as you wish, don’t - because that won’t help any EXISTING projects, right? “…change it so it does your computing as you wish”.

Access to the source code is a precondition for this.” - from the Free Software Definition “I would say that it comes from Open Source, because that’s a bait-and-switch scam that treats all free software programs more like a corporate product than community-based project.” “The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). It’s funny how people talk about Free Software, but when you want to write something for your very own purposes under a free license, people act like you should either choose an existing editor (or whatever sort of tool we are talking about) or work on someone else’s project that may never go in a direction that suits you. There’s a text editor for everybody already. For me, this puts Geany out of the race - though the real message here is there are lots of text editors, right? Nobody needs to write a new one.

Plus I don’t want to depend on gtk, Qt or KDE if I can help it. Most editors won’t let you do this, though the one I use now does.
When I used Leafpad (alas, GitHub) my favourite feature was that I could pipe text to it from the command line. I generally only use heavier software when it’s justified or there is no alternative. I use dwm, you know? I use a variety of older, sometimes newer hardware - I like the stuff I use to accommodate that and to be lightweight. It means each process I have open doesn’t load a larger program than is needed. “I generally only use heavier software when it’s justified or there is no alternative.”This means my window manager is in charge of which file I’m working on, not my editor.
I like my editors small, stable, one process and one window per file.

Though I didn’t want a tabbed editor - when I was still using Windows 16 years ago, and looking for a replacement for Notepad, I didn’t want Notepad++. Pity then, that Geany is developed on GitHub. I know developers who love it, who tell me about its cool features.
If you’re happy with gtk (I’m not) and you want a tabbed editor, Geany is probably about as nice as it gets. No need to bullshit: Geany is a nice text editor.
