Show me a single app that uses transitions and fading in/out sidebars, and has swipe gesture integrations.
As long as this is not supported by concept (Gtk boxes will never allow this type of scene graph) I don't think Gtk can be called mobile-ready.
Mobile screen space is very limited, and as long as Gtk is static as a scene graph by nature, you'll have to do thousands of hacks to "somehow" fake it. The gsettings app on phosh is a damn dirty hack of hacks.
And with pure CSS, you would need literally less than 10 lines of layouting code.
I'm not saying electron is better, but Gtk as a layouting concept is heavily outdated. If you don't think so: read the phosh codebase. You'll start to cry after an hour, how devs persist to make this somehow work due to beliefs that Gtk is made for this. It isn't.
