for sure, but -- at the time cinelerra was started, there were not so much viable alternatives, esp. for writing such an rather complicated gui. So the aproach "just write ourselfs what we need" seems quite reasonable. The GIMP people did exactly the same (and hence we have GTK)... The focus on source compatibiliy to heroine's version is quite understandable. Cinelerra seriousely is lacking developer man power. The single largest code contributions still stem from HV. Changing this situation and trying to "switch" to GTK would require quite some committment by several people. Even given enough manpower, such a project could easily require a year in order to catch up and deliver something comparable in terms of completeness with the current cinelerra.
