I've been using GTK for 15 years. I still know very very little about
GObject and I plan for it to remain that way.

Writing GObject classes is not typically something that application
developers will do. There are a few nice GObject-based libraries that are
external to the g* stack, but not many. It really isn't central to
programming with GTK. And if you use a different language binding, it
becomes even less relevant.
