Far from it, it's a weak point. gtk2 was new at the time of the first beta
and the Mandrake tools catching up with it in their own time was probably a
good decision. It's not as if they're the only gtk[1] tools in the
distribution; by her logic Galeon, Evolution, Sylpheed, the Gimp et alia
should be similarly criticised!

As a UI designer I find her reviews intensely annoying. It's good that
_someone_ is focussing on the Linux desktop GUI, but it's both what she says
and the way she says it (unprofessionally) that's the problem ...
