What point would there be in using Gtk/Gnome?

Exactly! Most examples of horrible UI/X I can think of in Linux land are from the Gtk/Gnome camp. Qt seems to have much better UX/I sense, and some successful apps like Blender just use their own separate thing.

I'm not sure what you mean with your question. My point is that Rust's GUI ecosystem is improving due to investment of Gnome.

My point is that Gnome is not interesting for people interested in cross-platform GUIs.

Why would people building cross-platform guis care who funds the work?

Presumably GNOME is funding work to make Rust work better with GTK.

Right, but that will only strengthen the language, even if you don’t use GTK.

Also I thought GTK3 was pretty decent cross platform but I may be overly hopeful here.
