Geany is a GPL TextEditor / lightweight IDE for UNIX/Linux using GTK. A Windows installer is also available that bundles the required GTK libraries.

It has the only implementation I've seen of something very useful, a checkbox to invert the colors to give a quick white-text-on-black editor.

Here's it's feature list from Wikipedia:

  • Auto-completion
  • Multiple document support
  • Project support
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Code folding (partially)
  • Symbol lists
  • Code navigation
  • Embedded terminal emulator
  • Customizable build system to check, format, compile and execute code
  • Send selection to external tools
  • Extensible via plugins

It has plugins for VersionControl integration (*nix only), scripting with LuaLanguage, online documentation browsing and window splitting.
