What exactly does “wayland support” do to an existing x11 app? How they managed to ship either the app or the wayland without mutual “support” before?
What’s DE integration apart from tray and notifications? Why does an app need any DE integration beyond a tray icon?
These questions are valid, not odd.
Distros removing versions is a distro’s problem. Most gtk versions are installable on popular distros, afaiu.
Anyway, I find most of these points are moot, because they mirror winapi. Gdi -> directx, fonts scaling, need for msvcrts and so on. Looks like an argument for the sake of argument. You can’t make a modern app with winapi either, it will be a blurry non-integrated win2k window like device manager or advanced properties. The difference is you can’t migrate them at all, even MS can not.
