Dova is now created to be another huge framework (just like now GLib 
is), but fully integrated in Vala and using all its features. Why SHOULD 
it be compatible with GLib? That's the better question, I think.

Why should Dova follow all that durty low-level rules and abstractions 
used in GLib, if it has its own support of interfaces, classes, etc.?

Again, Dova is created to fully replace GLib/GObject. Your question is 
something like you ask why is GLib incompatible with Qt? If you want to 
use both of them, you should (am I right?) encapsulate GLib-related and 
Qt-related logics into different modules compiled into different 
libraries and then used by your app.
