### Why doesn't GIMP use GTK+3?
-We made a preliminary port of GIMP to GTK+3 a few years ago and intend to complete it once v2.10 is out.
GTK+3 based GIMP will be eventually released as v3.0 (see the [roadmap](http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap)
for reference).

-The reason we prioritize it that way is that users who don't make a heavy use of Wacom tablets on Windows
can live with GTK+2 based GIMP another year or so. However not providing high bit depth precision for editing
makes GIMP unusable in professional workflows involving color grading and retouching.

-When completing the GTK+3 port, we will have to break API/ABI compatibility to make GIMP's custom widgets
work with GTK+3. Moreover, we need to break a few more things to make GIMP's architecture cleaner and prepare
it for non-destructive editing (a feature currently planned for v3.2).
