The opinion of the GTK devs seems to be that it's very much the "gnome toolkit" and that cross platform is not planned at all.

That's not the opinion of everyone. Gedit for example has an up to date Windows version. Inkscape and GIMP both have macOS and Windows versions, but I think they still run version 2.

GNOME definitely is the focus as their resources are quite limited. That's why I welcome Microsoft using it and hope to see some improvements for Windows and macOS in the future.

Last time I tried it didn't even work well with cygwin, every app would take a minute to start up while it tried to talk to systemd.

You shouldn't use cygwin, but MSYS2: http://www.msys2.org/

For Gedit you can just download it here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit It starts up immediately for me.

Inkscape and GIMP also have dedicated installers.
