WEll I personally write a fair amount of C and PHP and the use of
punctuation highlighting makes a huge difference to bug finding and the
like, as well as the ability to have half a dozen files - make file,
library, main file, headers etc - open as well is useful. Sure you can
run multiple consoles, but I prefer geany.

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
