Questions about the advertised library that are not answered by this article include:
Why does it make no effort whatever to approximate GTK UI controls, or even respect the user’s choice of UI font?
Does it support standard X11/Wayland IMEs? Screenreaders? Accelerators? (Configurable accelerators?)
Does it correctly handle other settings inherited from X11, Wayland, environment variables, and GTK (e.g., font DPI, screen doubling/tripling mode, GTK’s dark-mode setting, and no-animation setting)?
Does it correctly implement the freedesktop.org standard mechanisms for tray icons, notifications, sounds, &c.?
Does it use HarfBuzz? If not, what text shaping capabilities does it have? Does it flip the UI layout automatically when using RTL and columnar scripts?
Assuming it doesn’t use fontconfig, does it handle emoji and font fallbacks correctly?
How badly does it break when used on X11/Wayland environments other than GNOME?
Which hardware-accelerated rendering APIs does it support, and does it use the system’s own mesa?
I wish it had a C API so it could be used with languages other than Dart.
There are the integrations from Dart, but I don’t know if you can call into Dart.
