Exactly.  I've been using GtkGLExt in a scientific app for years and I'm
quite happy with it.  Cutter does not cut it if you need to visualize
scientific data in 3D.

Unfortunately, scientific/engineering apps seems to *be* niche use.  Look
at how hard SourceForge tries to hide this software category even though
it contains 50× more projects than VoIP which is promimently displayed...

So I hope something like GtkGLExt will continue to be available, whether
it's called GtkGLExt or not and is integrated into Gtk+ or not.
