Do you do a lot of gtk GUI development?  How do avoid the grind of 
edit-compile-test?

The reason this is not getting a lot of attention is the same reason any 
one GUI project isn't getting a lot of attention, everyone has their own 
desire for which toolkit to build from and everyone is busy. On top of 
that GtkD exists, while it currently uses an older version of Gtk it is 
there and will likely move to Gtk 3.0 when the author has some more time. 
The benefits of 'GObject Introspection' are of no consequence since it 
already works without them.

I do not speak for the author or his plans, but at this time moving it up 
to 3.0 is just more work and time the author doesn't have.

gtk2 seems to be not an older version, but current version, gtk3 being just a
plan.

Actually GTK+3.0 is the current stable release and the 2.2* series is
in maintenance mode. I'd love to see GtkD update to the 3 series soon--
currently using the 2.6 version.

Indeed, lol, I was confused by the windows section which knows nothing about
3.0 version.
