You mean waiting for fancy multitouch is better than relying on GTK+2 with broken graphic tablets support? :)
GTK+3 is just about as broken as GTK+2.
Not quite. I don't know what experience you have with GTK+3, but judging by what Mitch says, GTK+3 has tablets working, whereas current GTK+2 doesn't. Since he personally ported GIMP to GTK+3 and has it working, I tend to trust his words :)
GTK+2 tablets have been working well for me, including various Linux and OS X versions.
Also most tablet-specific work has been deferred to latter revisions after 3.0.
And I've been trying to help on that front, but ever since Apple hired away the Imendio guy, they've been 'bout impossible to communicate with on fixing GTK itself.
Who "they"?
GTK devel mailing list, GIMP mailing list, GTK IRC...
Shame, too, since I had the OS X tablet stuff working nice and smooth on native OS X, etc.
(On the other hand, the X11 guys have been quite communicative and helpful.)
