I used to work with Glade all day everyday for my day job in 2002-2004... I ended up doing a lot of the development in the xml files generated by the Glade UI.... Later as I was integrating Gecko into our desktop app to display help content I came to the realization that XUL and then HTML was equivalent just had more developers focused on it... So today I still view native app development from the sense that HTML is just a markup language for describing UI... and a lot of very talented engineers spend everyday from multiple organizations fixing bugs and improving the UX/UI performance and stability... making HTML the best (IMO) native app development environment... Of course, I still love exposing C++ components into my UI but the need is far less than in 2002-4... I'll miss the old gtk.org... spent countless hours on that site... the gnome c interfaces will always be near to my heart... Love the new design though that looks great.
