+1 for dropping GTK3 and staying on 2. I'd like to jump on to JavaFX/SWT as soon as they fix some bugs in the web view.
Sorry I missed the earlier note on Qt as well. Something I've been thinking about again as I start working with it more and more in the C++ space.

I can also prove what Andrey said: We have turned of Gtk3 on *all* our linux desktops because there are too many problems with it.
