We all know the fancy bugtrackers of the various distributions. I don't have a doubt
the idea behind was good and for distribution specific bugs they are great.
But when it comes to concrete application specific bugs, it often happens that
users report them to the distribution bugtrackers instead of to the specific
software project. At this point, it depends how deep is the relation between the
distribution packager of the relevant software package and the upstream authors.
Based on my personal experience, the conversation between down- and upstream is not
always as good and intensive as it should ...

lists geany.uvena.de as the first hit in the results list.
I'm wondering and happy ;-).
This is my most interesting and most actively developed project. Geany
is a small and lightweight integrated development environment. It
was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few
dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent
as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME. So
it is using only the GTK2 toolkit and therefore you need only the
GTK2 runtime libraries to run Geany.
Basic features of Geany:
- syntax highlighting
- code folding
- code completion
- snippet completion of often used constructs like if, for and while
- auto completion of ...
