Eclipse is a powerful IDE primarily focused on Java development, offering extensive features and plugins, but can be resource-heavy and complex for beginners. Geany, on the other hand, is a lightweight and user-friendly IDE suitable for various programming languages, making it ideal for smaller projects and quick scripting.
