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.

A nice and simple video conferencing program.

Lets you run Linux GUI software on Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Part of “VcXsrv Windows X Server”, but I don’t use any other component.

Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.

Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.

WARNING – Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned. The authors’ GUI website did.
See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.
