From a programmers standpoint it was a freaking nightmare with Gtk+3 removing toolbar and menu and ruler API in favor of a new "buildable" script type setup (which lost all control over icon size/spacing and caused toolbars to ellipsize off the right side of the window. (there is a reason Gimp still needs Gtk+2 -- rulers...) Gtk4 is no longer a standalone toolkit. It requires libadwaita now coupling the awful default gnome-shell theming to all projects that use it. So I feel your pain. Were it not for TDE/opensuse KDE3, I'd be using fluxbox and being quite happy with it. However, nothing replaces the elegance of the TDE integrated suite of apps and nothing replaces konqueror and kate/kwrite - and all the other utilities I use daily, e.g. ksnapshot, kcalculator, kcolorchooser, kpdf, konsole (with dcop scripting to open 9 tabs and initiate 5 remote ssh sessions with the click of a single icon in quicklaunch :) -- David C.
