We're working on a GTK3 port to have way forward open. GTK2 will not be
around forever (unless someone forks and maintains it, which is
unlikely).

I do not expect us to stop releasing GTK2 version anytime soon, as
apart from not having Fancy, it is still fully working, and IMHO better
looking. Even after GTK3 version is fully finished (as much as
something like that can ever be "finished") and working, we will likely
just release both versions concurrently. Time will tell.

Or perhaps my pet project, Qt port, will take off and we will leave GTK
behind altogether. :)

With that being said, your counterquestions seem to me like an attempt
to change topic, and avoid having to explain your rather toxic remark.
Not cool.
