In regards to the editors, where are the ones I considered from popcon (to
which ~10% of ubuntu users are signed up).

I skipped vim because it's a dependency of ubuntu-minimal, and kdevelop
because it's more fit in kde-development.

1425  eclipse                        52726  4785 46371  1542    28 (Unknown)

1953  geany                          14057  2250 11387   417     3 (Unknown)

2458  scite                          12766  1362 11034   363     7 (Michael
Vogt)
2306  anjuta                         28625  1578 26347   696     4 (Rob
Bradford)
3758  codeblocks                      3436   499  2686   245     6

I suppose eclipse doesn't quite fit in either for Gnome development, so it's
between geany and anjuta. It looks like anjuta has a higher installs/usage
ratio than geany, probably because it's endorsed quite a lot. Meanwhile
geany isn't so much but is actually used more, giving it a nice advantage.

I believe it's quite reasonable toconsider Geany as an IDE to be included in
the package for gnome development.

(btw, Eclipse is an issue in Ubuntu, I've seen several unhappy posts on UF
that it's outdated)
