Pros
Pro Simple, intuitive interface
The functionality of Geany is limited compared to heavyweight IDEs, but the functionality there is is easy to find and navigate.

Cons
Con Cramped interface
This editor's Buttons and Menus are small and cramped, like was typical of 90s style GUI programs. This might serve the programmers well if they have sharp visual acuity, or are using laptops with small screens, but I imagine many who have large spacious desktop screens might find that Geany doesn't utilize the available screen size as well as newer IDE's or Text Editors, leading to unnecessary squinting and eyestrain.

Pro Light and fast
Geany is very lightweight thanks to the smaller offering of features.
