This is ultimately a question for the upstream developers, who now produce
both a GTK and a Qt version. However, most of the focus is on Qt. They have
insisted both will coexist, but have also suggested at some point in the
distant future, the GTK version will be dropped.

The impetus to try Qt was driven mainly by increased resource usage and
bugginess in GTK 3. However, there are some [development related issues][1]
in that Vala often ends up in poor quality C code that's not very human
readable or easily debugged. The alternative being to write the C from
scratch. If that's the case and there are other reasons to avoid GTK, it
only makes sense to go Qt.

Beyond that, given Ubuntu's continued usage of Qt, it just makes sense that
we integrate with the rest of the family.
