I can agree with that.

Generally I think perhaps it is to get the feel and behaviour of the
GNOME apps. And also perhaps to take advantage of the extra features
like the canvas (whish that was in GTK too) and printing.

Whether it is needed in this case, I don't know though. (Haven't seen
the app)
