  "textContent": "> Please excuse my ignorance, but isn't gtk3 in the way Mate uses it very similar to gtk2, at least visually? If so, what will be the advantages of gtk2 and of gtk2 versions of programs? Thanks.\n\nExactly what Maestro said. Many people (including myself) absolutely hate gtk3. Plus, gtk3 runs much worse on basically any system I try (modern or old).\nI never understood the appeal of forcing people to upgrade to a toolkit that consumes more RAM and runs worse. It also breaks some themes that you can still download and install from gnome-look.org.\nAlso, I'm not sure if it's related to gtk3, but since Gimp switched to that toolkit it likes to freeze my computer. Not only the program, but my entire computer. No matter how new the hardware is. That's why I want to fork Gimp too, because it's literally unusable for me rn.\n\n\n> Can you change the file picker to bring it to 1995 standards? I mean having a thumbnail mode like, well, Windows 95.\n\nWell, that's what themes are for\nKeep in mind this should be a drop-in-replacement for people. They shouldn't notice any differences aside from encountering less bugs.\nBesides, to my knowledge the file picker never really changed in gtk2\n\n* * *",
