Developers: we don't feel like using GTK for new complex applications. We'd rather use Qt or ImGui or whatever. In fact, we'd rather create our own toolkit than use GTK.

GNOME: okay, here is our 5-years strategic plan, mostly about inclusivity and promotion of GNOME. Note how we are not addressing your concerns. Please send us feedback.

@prokoudine Yeah... The "GNOME Toolkit" 😛 is a dead end for non-GNOME software, especially cross-platform. Just fork it already and call it the "General Toolkit", or use something else.

@prokoudine To be fair, the GNOME Foundation doesn't handle anything in regard to the actual development direction.

@NekkoDroid but then who is in charge of technical strategy and where is it?

I've never really looking into it, but what are some of the major problems encountered with GTK that isn't the case in others?
