Oh, I understand your point and no, what I'm seeing around GTK is
still nothing like that but, for example:


- LXDE moved to QT;

- http://linuxg.net/starting-with-audacious-3-6-the-music-player-will-switch-from-gtk3-to-gtk2-until-it-will-be-ported-to-qt/

- http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2dxik3/future_of_gnome_and_gtk_when_whole_world_is/

- Unity moving to QT: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/568


You can extrapolate this trend within the future, which will have less
and less people working with GTK... In fact, none of the C coders I
know, codes in GTK...

Best!
