It's a matter of human resources, gtk3 is an extremely small team compared to its influence.



Haven't the GTK developers basically admitted that GTK exists to serve the needs of GNOME, and if anyone else gets good use out of it, that's accidental and unsupported?

I really wish we had another popular GUI toolkit that isn't Qt.


Why do you need a toolkit different from Qt? Because of the C++ API? Because the licensing (LGPL now so should be good)? Not lean enough for you? Just want something run by the community and no beholden to a single corporate overlord?

I'd much rather have one single toolkit standard so that everything can look and behave the same TBH.
