18 I use GTK2 whenever possible. I gave 3 a chance, mostly during testing
19 of my packages and to really see what the big deal was, and was left
20 wanting. None of the toolkits are really that great, but GTK3 in
21 particular feels wrong on a desktop computer. It's probably great on a
22 phone or tablet, like GNOME itself.
