Geany does have Lisp support, it's just not that great (you'll have to select it manually under Document > Set Filetype > Scripting Languages when opening a .scm file). You might also try SciTE, which is a simple text editor that uses many features of Scintilla (the editing component that Geany uses), for Lisp - there is no Scheme support specifically. I was thinking of writing one in the recent past, but I've had other projects that are more useful to me than writing a Scheme parser for Scintilla.
I can understand the trepidation of learning a whole new system like Emacs or Vim, but they are so powerful that for most serious programmers the benefit would be great, doubly so inside a Unix environment. Vim's Scheme highlighting support can be improved by adding to the existing per-implementation additions, as I have done: https://bitbucket.org/taylor_venable/metasyntax/src/tip/Config/vim/syntax/sc...

Hello,
Is there support for Scheme in any general/mainstream programming editor? Unfortunatly, my editor of choice geany has no support at all for Scheme & Lisp. This is very surprising because geany seems to be the most used free editor.
I don't wish to learn emacs just to be able to discover Scheme in a programmer-friendly way, and then forget all about emacs (because it's so different that what I'll have learnt of it cannot be reused). On the other hand, no support at all is too annoying (eg cannot even comment out lines of code). Having to switch to another editor, but one that works in a common way, is less of an issue.
