And how active are those many more supported languages? How complete? Really, for all practical purposes the "GTK is C, so much easier to bind to than C++ Qt" is a canard, one that's been flapping around for a decade now.

The most popular and widely used languages for GTK are C, Python, Javascript, Vala, C++ and C#. They are all very complete. Others might be but not many apps are written in them.
