This then is an incredibly narrow perspective. Depending on an
application's purposes, GTK+ may well be the only relevant GNOME
library. In this case it would still clearly be a GNOME application. IMO
the widget set is the most important thing for most applications to mesh
well with the rest of GNOME. A well designed GTK+ application will
arguably, be a better fit and more consistent on a GNOME desktop than a
un-gnome-looking but using gnome libraries application like DIA.

For example GTK+ only builds of AbiWord are more consistent with some
general "GNOME look" than Dia.

Other reasons for excluding GTK+ only applications seem to be political
and arbitrary discrimination.
