My apologies, this was indeed confusing. I meant that GTK2->GTK3, despite
increasing the version number, is a functionality downgrade.

It's worse in all areas of usability I've noticed, it breaks programs that
use it almost every minor version, completely fails in some of my use cases
(like X forwarding), imposes Gnome3 conventions on unrelated software, etc.
