You can get results that *some* people might think *look* "really good".
That aside, I don't think advising sticking with GTK+ 2 makes for good
advice.

Why not, instead, get someone interested in using a modern version of the
toolkit - perhaps even enough that they will look into maintaining a
theming engine that will provide what they want?

Fwiw, I do use GTK+ on Windows semi-frequently, but (A) I'm probably a
minority there and (B) I actually *like* that it has its own theme, so I
don't have to make theming changes targeting 2 different look-and-feels. I
wonder if these 2 points aren't part of the reason that Windows-style
theming has apparently fallen by the wayside a little.
