In my opinion, GTK is definitely more stable under Linux than Windows.
he truth is, 90% of GTK developers (or more) are working on the primary
Linux  X11 and Wayland backends.  The Windows backend does see work from
time to time, but from what I can tell it lags somewhat.

However I can confirm your margin issues are definitely bugs:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744095
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741270

I guess the problem really is that the property name for the margins has
changed from left and right to start and end, which is what the initial
renderer is expecting.  But somehow one part of glade hasn't caught up
to the other part.  I don't know when you can expect this bug to be
fixed.  Volunteer developers don't always fix bugs.

I don't think your workflow is wrong, though I can't speak to the
treeview thing.  Glade 3.x does seem buggy, especially compared to
Glade-3 for GTK2 which I never had any problems with.
