        It’s a text editor for development, basically. The goal is to make it light and independent of all the Linux desktop environments (so it can be included with any distro). So, if you’re putting together a lightweight, minimalist setup using LXCE or XFCE, you could install Geany without a bunch of Gnome or KDE libraries being installed as dependencies.

        A use case might be to install it on Raspian (for a Raspberry Pi). It’d be a step up from just using a plain text editor without requiring much more in the way of resources.
