Nick, this argument is saying that Geany should never change or improve, if you want to stagnate just keep using 0.21 or your favourite version ... Storing information with different uses (personal vs project) in the same file makes life harder for some users, all your arguments only relate to development issues not user issues. > I could bring up the Eclipse argument to say that worse is better.

If there are going to be restrictions on what changes are made to Geany in the future then you need to put that proposal to the Geany community to consider how such decisions are made.
