The Windows port lacks an embedded terminal window; also missing from the Windows version are the external development tools present under Unix, unless installed separately by the user.{{cite web|url=https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/running |title=Running Geany on Windows |publisher=Geany |access-date=2020-01-01}} Among the supported programming languages and markup languages are C, C++, C#, Ada, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, LaTeX, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal, Haskell, Erlang, Vala and many others.{{cite web|url=https://www.geany.org/about/filetypes/ |title=Supported Filetypes |publisher=Geany |access-date=2020-01-01}}

In contrast to traditional Unix-based editors like Emacs or Vim, Geany more closely resembles programming editors common on Microsoft Windows such as Notepad++, which also uses Scintilla.{{cite web |url=http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Notepad%2B%2B_And_Scintilla |title=Notepad++ and Scintilla |access-date=2019-02-18 |archive-date=2019-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190219072933/http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Notepad%2B%2B_And_Scintilla |url-status=dead }}

It is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or later. In 2012, the version number was increased to 1.22 from 0.21 to reflect the maturity of the product, as requested by many users.{{cite web|url=https://www.geany.org/news/geany-122-is-out/|title=Geany news archive|quote=Many users told us our version numbers didn't reflect the maturity of Geany to their eyes, and wished it to be changed to reflect that.
