-  Because I'm already very familiar with Gtk's system,
   (i wrote the gtkobject and signal ref docs learning)
   and so are other people.

-  Because it is not an easy task.  To do it well would
   be way out of scope:  documentation and testing such a beast take
   time.

-  Because Gtk has most of the functionality I need except I'd
   like interfaces and plugins (class destruction).


What does gdam (my program) use of gtkobject et al:
	- signals
	- data lists
	- type-casting
And it is perfect for it.

I agree with Miguel:  it may be wordy to use, but it's actually
very convenient conceptually and is well-architected and tested.
