Question: Geany or Gedit, which is better?

Latest answer added on 29.8.2018, after using both Geany and Gedit for about ten years:

In my pesonal view, the greatest merit of Geany over Gedit is, Geany's convenient and nearly unlimited additions to the Snippets.conf file. This Snippets file is something similar to 'Auto-complete' in MS Word. But Geany Snippets are more flexible and convenient than the Autocomplete in MS Word.

The Snippets file in Gedit requires identification of a hotkey for each snippet. As the availability of hotkeys will be limited, soon we get exhausted of the hotkeys. Adding snippets and hotkeys in Gedit is more complicated.
Previous answer given by me some years back: Gedit is the default text editor which we get with Ubuntu.
It is an excellent text editor, particularly for regex based searches and replacements.
But, I feel that, it is slow in saving large files.
It may, sometimes, hang on.
For editing codes such as html, javascript and php,  gedit has good color combinations.

Geany on the other hand needs download.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geany-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install geany
sudo apt-get intall geany-plugins.

Geany is particularly convenient for handling very large-files. It saves almost instantly.

summary: For editing short-files, I prefer gedit. For editing-long-files, I prefer geany.   For editing codes, I suggest gedit.  For editing texts, I suggest geany.
How to avoid sudo every-time?
At the command-line, we have to type the following: sudo -i and press enter key. We have to give super-user password, when the system prompts. The terminal line will change from $ to #. User name will change to root.
