 Does it allow me to make good music?"

This is the core question: Is it useful?
 

This also goes for most of the people on this list: We are so much into

The guy has a point here: I spend an unreasonably amount of time getting
GTK.1.2 to deliver approximately what most people (programmers) would
have had expecteded. Recompiling for GTK.2.0 was a NO NO! because of all
the kludges I invented. My source for the userinterface was practically
_as_ unreadable as you can get.
( It is cleaned up now though, but had I gone elsewhere, then  nobody
would have cared! ).

It is still so that gtk2 has higher demands on cpu than gtk1.x
