There is now an open source driver and GTK3 based UI for interacting with the Steam Controller

Quoting: WorMzyBecause gtk3 is a broken pile of crap, and I refuse to have it on my system. ;)

That is not exactly an argument. But anyway... GTK3 has a better drawing model, multiple backends (like Wayland), touch events, CSS-based theme engine.

In a simple analogy, GTK2 is like HTML4 and GTK3 is like HTML5.

They are moving away from using X11 directly to SDL abstraction, which allows it to work on other backends such as Wayland.

What makes it compelling to me is that there is actually a goal in the game. You can lose or win in finite amount of time. As opposed to the likes of Rust where you only delay your inevitable death by a little bit.
