From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Geany(Its a lightweight GTK Based IDE)
Too low on the list
Thank you!
Question: According to this table, Geany's capabilities might leave some to desire when it comes to code/text folding. Is this correct? Or is the table simply outdated?
Yw and I think it's up to date that list (i just looked at article last updated)
Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I took it for a test run and wasn't able to replicate the above functionality either. Hopefully it's an error on my side, but it's very possible that I will not stick to Geany.
Did you try plugins but sure it's fine
