After Sun's collapse, GTK 3 effectively killed GTK's popularity as a cross-platform toolkit in favour of Qt 5.
These days, you'd never pick GTK unless you wanted to make an "app for the GNOME platform". In the past, things were different.
I looked into QT as an alternative to GTK for our frontend but it seems like they break things more frequently and come out with major versions more often so decided not to pursue it further
