Geany is a fantastic, fast, powerful GUI text editor for many purposes & has a low barrier to entry
With Geany, some smart people have already gone ahead and written a few dozen plugins that cover various use cases and of course there are themes. The configuration via dialogues cover the basic customization and the text files for the rest are accessible through a menu so you don't have to dig around for them which is a thoughtful design element I wish I could just turn on in every application. And so far they have been easy to understand from the included comments, without needing make a bunch of web searches. Once you edit the files there is a menu item to reload configuration so you don't have to close up all your work to enable some change. This is really the way to do things.
