<p dir="ltr">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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond that, given Ubuntu's continued usage of Qt, it just makes sense that we integrate with the rest of the family. </p>
