Yeah, 2.18 seems to be about right all things considered.

Can someone explain (in one or two sentences) why GTK versions around
2.18 or so are much worse than more recent ones? I haven't really done
anything using GTK yet, however, I am interested.


Hi,

I don't know, in general, if the older libraries are "worse"[1], but there have been discussions recently around some things that require functionality in more recent versions (ex. GtkBuilder will need 2.16, lots of accessor functions were added between 2.12 and 2.18 which will make eventually supporting Gtk3 easier, some new widgets become available in later versions and so on).

Cheers,
Matthew Brush

[1] but I would assume that 4+ years of active development would have brought lots of bug fixes and optimizations.
