I hope GTK3 will be still supported for a long time.
GTK4 is more than a revolution IMO. It feels more like another toolkit which is 
using glib by accident as well.

>From a user point of view, here is my personal shitlist for GTK4:
- no icons on menu items
- no classic file menu
- no window positioning
- only CSD
- popup menus require compositing 
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4815)

Fancy, modern interface experts might like this on their tiny exotic devices.
I remember I had similar reservations from GTK2 to 3 but from 3 to 4 is even a 
way bigger step.

I think we will loose quite some features with GTK4 and need to think about the 
user interface aside from the technical aspects.

Disclaimer: the above is my personal opinion and does not claim to be correct 
or a good direction for the future.
