I think that supporting network volumes (and auto-mounting local volumes) is essential nowadays (and one of the reasons I am still using nautilus instead of pcmanfm). I think LXDE project has too few developers to try and fork a library just to have an incompatible (with all other gtk software) API, and this would result in more bloat (having both gnome and lxde libraries that do the same thing) when you use some gtk software. So, as LXDE cannot rewrite all the gnome software (epiphany, evince, pidgin, etc.), I vote for using gnome-gvfs and gio and keep the bloat at minimum. I am still hoping that with the gtk+ improvements and gnome libs integration and refactoring, the gnome team will try to provide a smaller and more efficient gtk in the future.
