<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Geany seems to fulfill multiple editing needs for me. However, it's an easy install - in terms of default mousepad or leafpad do the job just fine. Just my 2 cents...<br><br></div>Regarding the Xubuntu strategy, please allow me to add a voice and a few thoughts but first let me thank you for all your hard work related to this project. It's an outstanding solution that is rock solid and of high QUALITY (the larger meaning of the word quality). Since I respect the work you have done very much, please accept these as my humble suggestions.<br>
<br></div><div>1. Would you find it appropriate to include a stronger mention of privacy and user's rights - diverging from where I see Ubuntu going? I mean protecting users from unwanted searches and unrequested Amazon suggestions or other similar steps. If users specifically want such capabilities, let them choose to install something. Let the OS do nothing to promote and instead do the opposite (discourage upsteam from building such features into DEs, exclude packages from default install that do such things, etc.). I understand the distro makes many choices but let those choices be guided by principles of freedom and privacy as much as possible.<br>
<br></div><div>2. Would you consider expanding the reach of Xubuntu by adding its deltas to Debian? The polish and style of Xubuntu are superb but the release cycle and decisions of Ubuntu are not always ideal. How amazing it would be to have Xubuntu on Debian? I see Xubuntu as not just another Ubuntu but of far greater potential (because of many factors as an example the choices made by Unity and Gnome3).<br>
<br></div><div>3. Would you consider mention of support for smaller devices (such as Raspberry PI, etc.) or is this something that you relegate to Ubuntu and Debian or other distros and outside the scope of Xubuntu? In other words, in terms of target audience I would hope Xubuntu would be run on huge servers, small desktops and laptops but also on tiny devices that require some UI.<br>
<br></div><div>Thanks again for your hard work and for making Xubuntu the outstanding distro that it is today.<br></div><div><div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><div>- Gevorg<br><br><a href="http://legacydaily.com">http://legacydaily.com</a></div>

A good engineer's editor probably supports any language - it does for me.
The choice of default text editor should be based on the target audience for the release which has evolved since the first 'buntu, quite
a bit. Who is the target audience nowadays? Or, should we default in one for simple note-padding and one with a lot of engineering capabilities?
Keep in mind that they are both low on dependencies, relative to other packages.
