Compared to a regular programmers editor for Win~1:

- Non-native interface. Pretty much a norm these days, and can be fixed
to some extend.
It's worse with GTK3 too, it only makes any attempt to look "native"
when you have themes activated in Windows, so if you are using the
"classic" Windows theme, it falls back to the builtin GTK+ theme, which
looks nothing like anything on any desktop.
- With gtk+2, randomly starts to eat several % of CPU time. Not a real
problem, except for laptops. With gtk+ 3.8, see "Geany with gtk+ 3.6.4
under Windows".
- Does not work with all monospaced TrueType fonts.
Maybe same issue as this, for me it also cuts off the last pixel or two
(horizontally) of each character. Still usable like that but fonts look
weird and it's distracting.
- Find in Files for locale texts is broken (passing locale file names to
tools is almost surely broken too, but the locale file names support in
glib is terrible anyway). [1]
It's not usable out-of-the box either, unless someone happens to have
grep utility in their %PATH%.
