One thing that you didn't mention is that GNOME is entirely based on GTK...
BTW... whether we like it or not, other toolkits are here to stay... I know
of *MANY* programs based in xforms, and several in other less-popular
toolkits... Berlin is hoping to remedy the problem, but that will take a
while.
