At the time, I was trying to do it in such a way as to reuse much of the GTK+2 code. However, the minimum version of GTK+2 required by Vim is rather old so a lot of deprecated (and now missing in GTK+3 or shifted to glib/gobject) APIs are being used. If I were to look at it again (which won't be soon due to lack of time), I'd probably still clean up the GTK+2 code but then handle GTK+3 independently, Share only what easily shares instead of trying to shim the two together.
