Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:

Syntax highlighting
Code folding
Symbol name auto-completion
Construct completion/snippets
Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
Call tips

This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

The package geany-plugins is important..
I also (sometimes) use Leafpad.

An audio player.

Straightforward, with few dependencies and a lot of audio format support.

The current god of file managers.

It’s bloody amazing, and does so much “just right”. I can tell that the author has his head on straight. It ought to be the default in every Linux distribution which uses GTK+.
