	I disagree with your opinion.  I hate C++, Java has its own
issues, and Objective C simply isn't portable or popular enough.  
GtkObject is the coolest OOP system that currently has a large user base,
not to mention the fact that it happens to come with a kick-ass set of
widgets:).

	The Gtk+ object system is awesome--if one is familiar with
Object-oriented techniques, I think learning the Gtk+ system is much
easier than learning the syntax of a new language.  Plus, I can continue
to use my tried-and-true C development tools.

	Of course, this is only my opinion--you have many valid arguments,
but I think it's safe to say GtkObject is going to stick around for a
while.
