So what you're basically saying is that nobody should code a gtk+ app, we 
should all program in gnome?

This kinda eliminates the whole purpose of having the gtk+ toolkit (i.e. 
it's only purpose is to server gnome)

Don't get me wrong, I love gnome - I love seein apps for it, but there 
are cases when you don't need to make a gnome app, and it would suffice 
to create a gtk+ one.

Also in gtk+ you have more control over how your app should work - while 
gnome is very configurable and stuff, it basically implements things its 
way - with gtk+ you have control over /everything/ (which is not 
necessarily a good thing)
