Yes. When I dont want to pull all of GTK in, I "do it myself" as well.

The change to glib becomes interesting when you are using glib anyway
(for me it only happens in GTK projects: then, the glib channels blend
quite well with the GTK event loop).

I wouldn't use glib on its own. Its interface is a tad too heavy for my
taste. But as a foundation to GTK it makes sense.
