..and that uses non-standard concepts like GObject.

Win32 examples would have been peak hilarity.

More seriously, I see where the author is coming from, but even historically, GUI code has always been a massive pain in C.

Telling people that the default string type is LPTCSTR and the default integer type is HRESULT would be top trolling.

Right? What absolute beginners will learn about C from GObject? I bet most of them will learn that C is a weird language, and they also will learn that it is better not to learn about C again.
