Geany is probably the most convenient code editing tool to use! Although this software would still take short period of time for you learn all the features and functions but once you adapted to their system. You would find their system very easy to use. Plus, it is equipped with complete tools that could help your code editing more efficient.

Geany... it's magic! Or about as magic & exciting as a text editor can be. The version on softonic is old and the current version is 1.23, which you should try. Geany is pretty light and quick multi-document editor and I prefer it over Notepad or even Notepad++. Pros: MDI (multi-document interface), aka tabslightweightfastloads quicklylooks professional Cons: no option to set file associations
