I do use Geany - not for devel, but because it seems to be an easy 
text editor to use.  But if there's another GUI text editor, with 
search, I would be ok.

I use the spin.  I use the spin to install from; I could not install 
from an FC DVD because in the initial booting sequence it didn't give 
me enough time to trackpad-down-to-the-bottom to set the language and 
keyboard - whose lists were quite long and so with a trackpad took a 
long time to get to the one I needed (near the end).  By which time 
the system 'continued' with US - I think - settings so I abandoned it. 
  I used the Live-CD spin, installed from that (which worked nicely), 
but then found it really difficult to set up the DVD as another source 
for software updates.  So I had to get most of the extra bits from the 
online sources. That's quite difficult on slow internet connections. 
I hadn't subscribed to the list(s) in those days so I've never 
described this user difficulty before.

I use the spin to install from it, and to use it as a live-cd for 
various quick things, I do like it.  And I use Geany simply because I 
know it.
