One drawback of GTK3 is that Vim doesn't support a vertical button layout for dialogs (:set guioptions+=v); I recently discovered and reported that (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/7746). That's why I switched back to GTK2. Regarding the slowness, I noticed visibly slower screen redraw in GTK2 (e.g. after GVIM becomes the active foreground application again), but only on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine, not on 16.04. > Also, that one package does not appear to be sufficient.

So if you want a Vim with similar build options as the distribution's version, this seems to be a really convenient and future-proof alternative command. (You still need "apt install git", as Ubuntu doesn't know how you obtain the source code.) (This is for Ubuntu 20.04, which ships the GTK3 variant by default. On Ubuntu 16.04, it used to be build-dep vim-gnome, for the GTK2 variant.) Interestingly, build-dep installs gcc as the compiler - I don't even have clang installed; always compiled Vim with gcc. > Hmm, pkg-config does list "gtk+-3.0", not sure what is wrong...
