It's not a _must_ in principle, and there's lots of "pure" X programs
ported to the platform. However, the main UI is implemented with Gtk+
and also the input method so in order to integrate well (easily), the
programs need to be written with Gtk+.

Using pretty much anything would be possible, it's just a Linux after
all. The amount of memory and the amount of re-implementation required
to have a non-Gtk+ UI effectively restrict the possibilities. Loading
another set of UI libraries into the limited memory available would
have rather ill effects on the performance of the system.
