If you are looking for a superior text editor, your search might just begin and end with a nifty program called "Geany." One of my biggest concerns when I switched from Microsoft Windows to Linux was finding an adequate replacement for my favorite text editor. I use the OpenOffice Writer for printed versions of my work, but the right text editor can provide a more convenient writing platform for personal notes and posting assignments with editors via the Internet. For years, I used a commercial program called "TextPad," but it was a Windows-only product.

I have been using Geany for the last three years. I have even installed it on my Windows machine as they now have a Windows version. It has replaced all of my text editors. I hope that this is a project that continues to grow and I am very glad to see that it is getting some positive publicity.
