from my perspective, these were both replacements for marginal
existing widgets.

you still have to go outside of GTK+ to get (for example):

    * plotting
    * a canvas
    * knobs
    * a sensible file selector (this is coming, apparently)

yet each of these has been around in various forms for years.
