Let's acknowledge that the gnome-* prefix means "to be used mostly in the GNOME Desktop environment" and not "officially endorsed by GNOME". Or something like that. The fact that it uses only gtk may change in the future; I do not know about that, but if upstream thinks it works with gnome and not gtk, even if it works with both at the moment, we should not expect a gtk-only application in the future.
