GPtrArray doesn't tell you the type of the pointer inside the array. You are throwing away type safety. This is a regression rather than an improvement. It's like making every array void*a[N]. When I used to write GLib code, I can't count how many bugs were introduced when I thought the GPtrArray contained a type of pointer but it contained some other type. Also, which part of GPtrArray prevents you from making out of bounds access? Last time I checked it doesn't.
