Hi Colin!

Consistency in look and feel is possible, if every project cares on 
their part and uses the same style guides. It is easier to maintain a 
common look, if everyone is using the same technology.

But we have GTK+-2, GTK+-3, QT-4, KDE-4, Gnome 3, Ubuntu Unity style and 
so on. Same look and feel also means, that every application has to quit 
with STRG+Q. Mozilla Browser users this but Thunderbird uses STRG+W, 
gschem uses ALT+Q, my editor uses STRG+K+X.

Moving to GTK+3 is only a minor step towards consistency in look and 
feel, but more a big step towards technical consistency. If you like, 
you could help archiving a consistent look and feel between gEDA and 
Gnome 3 where possible.

Best regards
