Every other GObject-based library does this.

This difference between need and nice-to-have is completely subjective.
Many people feel that they need the full capability of C++ to be
productive, and gtkmm is not something that you can just reimplement in
your own application. It's a lot of work.
Code written with gtkmm is really very different to code written for GTK
+, because of all those C++ techniques that are easily available. It's
far more than just syntatic sugar.
