Because developers prefer GTK+? Because GTK+ was born from GIMP, so
there's a bond between the two projects?

What is make, please? Are you referring to CMake maybe? :)

Personally I don't mind it. Would you like to provide a patch?

I think you really intended to link to
http://blogs.gnome.org/otte/2012/07/27/staring-into-the-abyss/
instead. There are some good points and some horrible points there.
You do not explain however, what is it exactly that made you link to
this blog posting.

You'll have to explain what you were meant to say with this link :)
