You do forgot that they keeps breaking things within gtk3 branches :)

gtk12 still have lot of people trying to keep it forever because it was light :)
I do remember lots of discussions back in the time about people trying very very
hard to keep gtk12 as long as possible claiming gtk2 is just crap and bloat

Things hasn't changed much in my point of view :)

note that I do personnally have no opinion on gtk2 and/or gtk3 support here,
just finding fun the same things seems to happen again and again.

Best regards,
