If GTK is the best for you, this does not mean that it is the best for everyone. Somebody loves using a GUI with millions of colors, windows here and there, thousands of different fonts, with differents sizes, lots of menus, icons, having to move the hands from the keyboard to the mouse and vice-versa for all the time. Other peoples likes having the possibility to not move the hands from the keyboard for all the time, having a coherend, clean, readable and eye-friendly 80x25 fixed chars matrix, with a little number of colors, one single-size font, not superfluous decorations. If I want to see something nice, I see a movie, or I play at a videogame, or other millions of things. If I want to do useful things in a fast and comfortable way, I use Emacs in a console. So, if you are not of the my opinion, you can see that there does not exists the perfect solution for all, as we are more that 6,000,000,000 of persons in the world, and there is a big variety of needs or tastes.
