Geany

Geany streamlines your workflow by letting you choose your programming language and character encoding at the start. This pre-configuration means your editing environment is tailored from the first keystroke, presented in a simple, tile-based text interface. It's perfect for developers who value a clutter-free workspace and want to avoid digging through menus later. The IDE supports a wide range of languages and offers core tools like project management, symbol lists, and build system integration. By handling the setup instantly, Geany gets you directly into the productive phase of writing and testing code.
