Also the manjaro people very often keep both in their repositories. I'd say it's a good and userfriendly solution to keep both, in these days of gtk3 breaking with any upgrade nearly any up to that moment working theme. Trying to stick as much as possible with gtk2 seems to me by far the best option one has, given (s)he does not want to use gnome. (Just a hint: i found out that vertex (it is on github) is one of the few themes working decently with gtk3).
