Is dconf a new idea that no one has taken up, or is it obsolescent, or what?

IIRC gconf was developed for GNOME apps around the GNOME2/GTK1.x time
with GNOME3/GTK2 dconf was introduced as a successor. this in turn got
replaced by gsettings nowadays ... depending on the age of an app you
will find all three of them still in use (though i think even in
universe GTK1.x apps are rare noawdays) ...
