That is my greatest fear in picking up Vala.  I had a fair amount of
Mono/Gtk# code in MonoDevelop - and it was great.. then to be abandoned
by 'the community';  basically down to trying to reassemble the thing
between the changes in Gtk and MonoDevelop [I gave up].

Python isn't great with working with Gtk, and the run-time is tedious,
but - one can count on it being maintained for the foreseeable future.

The GNOME community [and I love GNOME, and have been using it 24/7
since the 1.x days] does have a problem of too many visionaries;  the
grass-is-always-greener....  But what I want is great applications and
a stable platform.  I do have reservations about the future.
