a) Not only would you lose you window manager controls, replaced by some 
GNOME-specific kludge, but you'd also _lose_ screen real estate. Geany's menu 
and toolbar fit within the same area as the giant header bar but expose all the 
functionality directly instead of hiding it behind some trendy hamburger or 
gear icon.

b) You mean modern _GNOME_ app. Just because GNOME developers are actively 
ruining GTK+'s cross-desktop experience, doesn't mean we can't still try to use 
it to make a portable application that looks normal on good desktop/platforms 
(ex. XFCE, KDE, Windows, etc.)

Speaking for myself, GtkHeaderBar is the worst thing to happen to desktop Linux 
since GNOME-shell. It serves no purpose other than to break cross-desktop 
compatibility and windows management, all just to look like a phone app on the 
desktop.

In case it wasn't obvious, 👎 for me :)
